"I know that I have said this more than a million times since you got home from the hospital yester-day, but it is so great to finally have you cancer free and back home!" Mom smiled and said, as she applied my makeup. "I know that every-one in your youth group, and at church will be excited to see you!""I'm excited, too, but am a little ner-vous." I said."What is making you nervous, sweet sweet?""The last time that Betsy, Jackson, and Kurt, my besties in the entire world, as well as every-one in the youth group and church saw me, I had hair. Six months later, I am bald.""Is that what you are nervous about, people seeing you bald, and judge you?""Yes." I replied."Oh, honey bear, that is not going to happen, I promise. They are going to be 100% focused and sur-prised that you are cancer free and back.""Real-ly?""Really." Mom smiled at me, kissing me on the top of my bald head. "On a different note, do you want to know some-thing, sweet sweet?""Yes, Ma'am?""For the first time in six months, your pastor Dad left for the church this morning with a smile on his face."
