last night was a little rough for the lindbloom-larsen household...restless sleep and pain...seems strange to say this but ginny's hair hurts...when her hair moves at her touch or as she moves on her pillow it hurts....her scalp is super sensitive...when we finally got up this morning we agreed that tonight (wednesday) i would cut her hair and shave her head...i was so glad to be able to be part of the process...
oh how i love this woman...
some of the new head gear...
this is my favorite cap...
some have been asking about how i (kir) am doing...i will say that it is hard...on monday when ginny was feeling great and looking like her self it was easy to live in a little denial...tuesday the world stopped for a moment and the denial was replaced with resignation...ginny has cancer...real cancer...it breaks my heart and yet i am so blessed...so grateful to be walking with her in this...i have walked this road before...i know cancer well...the difference this time is my heart...ginny owns a piece of my heart that no-one has ever owned...and that part of my heart hurts differently that the other parts of my heart...
we are blown away with all of the support...ginny is warming up to it...if it were up to her no one would know...i on the other hand feel great comfort in knowing that people KNOW and are thinking of us and praying for us...gin has come along way (oh my danish lutheran wife)...

p.s. ginny would like me to report that she still has lots of energy and a fierce appetite...my cooking helps i think :)
I'm having tears of love and sadness and joy and all the whole universe rolled into you guys right now.
ReplyDeleteVirginia? Dear? You look AWESOME. Personally, I like the bandana/kerchief look even more than K's favorite hat. So you can wear ANYTHING, and someone will still think you look hawwwt.
I think you are beautiful without any of it Gin, hair, hats, scarfs. It is your beauty that shows through, it is your love for each other that shines through, no matter what is happening in your life.
ReplyDeleteYes Kir, you have walked this walk with Cancer before, but never quite like this. I know we all understand. We pray with you, we love with you, we laugh with you, we cry with you, we are priveleged to walk this walk with both. May God watch over you both as you go through this journey.
Love you both,
Linda
