It doesn’t change you…
I’ve hired a twelve-year-old neighbor to walk my dogs for me several days a week. Benny is adorable, articulate and empathetic way beyond his years.
When he saw me bald for the first time a few days ago his instant response was, “You look good, but this doesn’t change you as a person. You’re still who you are.”
Good answer, Benny. What a guy!

Sorry to hear about your cancer. Benny is right – this does not change you. You do look beautiful. Funny how a child’s perspective can really ring true. We forget the basics sometimes when life throws curve balls.
If there is anything that I can do to help, don’t be afraid to ask. I know you are already strong, but my prayers and thoughts are with you.
