It was Hat-tastic!

Thanks to all my wonderful friends and family, I will never have to buy a hat again!  Today was a wonderfully encouraging day!  There were over 50 people at my hat/scarf party!  The food was awesome (thanks Mel), the fellowship was grand and the gifts were much appreciated.  Many people wore hats, and I finally have a cowboy hat to call my own!  (actually two 🙂 )  You don’t know how excited I am about that!  I didn’t end up shaving my head, but expect to be losing my hair this week.  When it starts falling out, then I am shaving it all off.   We had friends taking pictures, so look for those to come soon! 

With the combination of the people who were physically there and all of you who were there in spirit, I feel so blessed.  I can’t imagine going through this without you.  Thank you for sharing this day with me and making this journey a little brighter.  I actually am excited to wear all of the cute hats; it’s going to make being bald a bit more bearable.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.  Oh yeah, and thank you!

    Sol & Monica,

    This is Melissa Whitehead-Valentine from The Well in Fresno. I don’t know if we’ve ever officially met, but I worked for The Well for a long time and my little sister Blaire was at your house a lot with youth events. I ran into Mary Anne Mayfield at the Fresno Komen Race for the Cure and she told me you had just been diagnosed and for me to check the website for updates. I’ve been staying clued in as time goes on. My husband, Ryan, and I are praying for you guys both and we hope for a smooth treatment process and a speedy recovery.

    Please continue to share your process as it helps us know how to pray!

    Blessings,
    Melissa for Ryan and Melissa Valentine
