Alopecia and Me

This is rough.  If you don't know, Alopecia is hair loss.  There is different levels of Alopecia.  Most people have one or two bald spots.  I have Universalis which is hair loss EVERYWHERE!  I can't say that I've handled this like the good Christian person I should be.  Losing my hair is probably the worst thing that has happened to me as a woman.  I often feel disconnected from the people around me because I feel/look different.  I got married on August 21, 2004 to the most wonderful man I've ever known. -  just had a few spots then.  By February 2005 it was all gone - head to toe gone.  I quickly learned about wigs and went out and got my first wig on Valentines Day - not exactly the most romantic first married V Day with my man!  Anyways, 6 1/2 years later, I'm still wearing wigs, but I'm daily learning that this is what my life is right now and I should be happy in it.  Thank God for Chris and my two beautiful children, Hannah and Caleb!  Here's me with my newest do!
