This part of our journey with cancer makes it all so real. Maddoxs hair brought me so much joy, his long beautiful curls. 2 1/2 years of his hair growing and never getting cut, all gone in 20 minutes 😠It means so much to me and now it’s gone. My heart is so heavy and feels like it is constantly breaking. Yes I know it will grow back but that’s not the point. I’ve known this was going to come sooner or later but boy it is SO heartbreaking. There’s really no words honestly to explain how I feel. I knew right away when we found out that he had cancer that my hair had to go too. I spend every second that I can with him so I knew I needed to make the change so he didn’t feel different. He’s already going through so much, so the least I could do was be just like him. My heart hurts extremely bad but I am so so so happy to be his mama. I have such an amazing husband to stand by my side through this journey too 😠Thank you SO much to his nurses who took the time on their off days to be with us for support, we love you so much! Our time at Duke hospital has been wonderful. We have met some extremely amazing nurses that I absolutely love. You can tell that they love their jobs. They are always showing my baby lots of love and that means the world to me.
