A Life told in Hair! (and hats)

I'm linking up with SaveEveryStep. This is a nostalgia Linky of family stories. This week, the stories are all about our changing attitudes to (and experiments on) our hair. 

One of the first things Mom worried about after her cancer diagnosis, was her hair. We made an appointment with a hairdresser, who was in remission from breast cancer. She cut Mom's hair short and helped her choose a wig style. Then, when Mom's hair fell out from the chemotherapy, we already had a plan to deal with it. These photo's show Mom's changing hair over her life-time, the way we remember her. 

I have included photo's of Mom in hats, too, as she loved her hat collection, almost as much as her hair.

Grateful for ..... Nostalgia

Nostalgia, reminiscing, memories. Powerful human emotions. In the past week, we have had visitors from Australia and South Africa; people who were very special to Mom, who loved Mom and whom she loved and treasured in return. It could have been a difficult week for us, but it wasn't. We laughed a lot, talked about Mom and unlocked some precious memories. I am so grateful.
