This is love...

I should have updated this when it happened, but my 12 year old really required the extent of our attention this weekend and thus blogging about Taylor was not a thought in my mind. I was considering starting a blog about the ins and outs of raising a 12 year old (NOT), but then I realized I needed to FIND a blog on how to raise 12 year olds because clearly I have NO CLUE!!!! Anyway, all is well in our world and thus I am back before the computer sharing my family's life stories as they occur!! 


So, on April 27th which is my brothers birthday, I got a text message late at night (ok, I think it was like 9 pm... but that has become late in my world). It woke me up, I realized that it was not urgent and resigned myself to calling him back in the morning. When I woke up, still in bed, I did what any normal person does... GOT ON FACEBOOK. When I signed on I saw that my brother had tagged photos of me. He is attending law school in Miami so I was quite intrigued as to HOW he could have gotten pictures of me. And then I saw it... HE SHAVED HIS HEAD. I was once again rendered speechless. I could not believe that somebody would do that to support their niece. I felt so thankful, so blessed to have family that is willing to do such a thing. When Taylor feels down about having Alopecia, she will KNOW and SEE the support of her family and friends behind her and I think that makes all the difference. We all so often run from our support systems when we need them the most. I am thankful that our support system has not allowed us to run. We need them!! 


I have attached some of the photos of my brother shaving his head. His act of kindness means more than he probably knows. This is love...
