In re: HAIR
In 1987-88 my mom went thru surgery, chemo, radiation--& baldness. Hair came in salt&pepper (more salt) & a standup ripple like Elsa Lanchester in "Bride of Frankenstein". As a baby/toddler she was "tow-headed"(almost white-blonde). About 6wks. before she died she was in her bathroom at home & I heard her cry out. Terrified, I ran in & she was leaning on the counter next to the sink shaking with laughter. Around the base of that almost-6-inch salt&pepper ripple were soft, golden curls!!! Life is still full of surprises. Lucky Jeremiah, a mom full of surprises & noticing all of them. What a good start. I send him a Granny-Tanny hug. I know it's an awful job, but please do it for me.
BTW, in the Faulk family, large & loving, the saying was, "That child's not gonna learn to walk until he/she's 5 or 6." Everyone wanting to hold & carry him/her around. Tw
