Beautifully Bald

February of last year (2012) my childhood friend, Hannah, was diagnosed with Leukemia.  This hit me hard.  Though we didn't maintain a very active relationship as adults, Hannah and I were best friends when we were little..we did everything together... had sleep overs, made up our own secret club, talked endlessly, teased our siblings (once even froze her sister's underwear)... you know, the things best friends do.  As adults, we visited each other when we could - our friendship never skipping a beat regardless of how much time had passed since the previous visit.

When I found out about Hannah's diagnosis, I was really shaken.  The big C.  Ugh.
