Wearing A WIG!!!

Gale is absolutely the most amazing woman. Today she met with Amy, who is a psychologist with the oncology group. At the end of the meeting Amy asked Gale if she had anything else she was thinking about. Gale shared her concern about seeing Mother and being bald. Amy reminded her how a Mother always wants to take any suffering from her child. She suggested Gale buy a wig or wear a scarf when seeing Mother, if not Mother might want to be suffering rather than Gale and be depressed without understanding or remembering why. What a revolution!! If Gale had not kept the appointment today and been reminded of something we all know but would not have thought about Mother could have spent months being depressed and we probably would not have made the connection.

I am so grateful she spent time with Amy today. She just went right off to a wig shop and came out looking like a model I am certain. I haven't seen her yet, but she sounded great on the phone and mentioned putting on bright red lipstick!! You Go Gale...

TOMORROW IS CHEMO #2. She plans to go to work and then to chemo...her longtime buddy, Gary Ellis will be going with her.

Say a little extra prayer for her over the next few days. She is truly an amazing woman.
