January 25 Letter to Mama about my Hair Loss

1/25/07
Good Morning Mama;

Here is all my Hair that I shaved off my body. I remember that Sonja told me she did the same thing, as she wanted to be the one to decide when she lost her hair as well. I know some folks may think me a bit crazy for wanting a pillow out of it. That is ok too, it has served me well for 44 years and I want a loving reminder of this JOURNEY that God and I are taking for YEARS to come.

I really do thank God for the out come and I want to be able to look at this pillow and know that GOD can and does bring me through anything. I don’t really care how big it is, I will ask that you make it out of the Red and Black fabric that I included in the package.

I bought this fabric about a Year ago cause I loved it so much it is from Africa I believe, wasn’t sure why I bought it, Now I know. God is always on the job no matter what. You can make it any shape you like, I think I am sending more than enough fabric but if you need more let me know.

Thank you so much for doing this for me, it means the world to me. I love you very much, and I know that God’s love is so much greater still.

Your Loving Son
