Many of the gifts were personal and thoughtful, including the cocktail in a bag you can freeze - nice touch!
However in the spirit of having an alopecia Friday blog, I share with you one gift that particulary touched me.
It was from one of my top 5 buddies. Remember that post? Some of you did not approve - tee hee.
Either way I received a music CD. In itself a fabulous gift as I love receiving music tips and ideas, as some how I have lost touch with whats cool and what is not.
The CD was by Nell Bryden and the CD cover is beautiful. You can find lots about her on the internet, if you are interested and in one article shes opens with these words:
"Sitting in front of the mirror in my New York apartment, I saw a reflection I hardly recognised. I looked sick. My hair was so thin, large patches of my scalp showed through. My eyebrows and eyelashes were practically gone, too. This wasn’t me, I thought. It felt like a nightmare. But it wasn’t. Until this moment, I had never realised how much my hair had been intertwined with my identity."
So as you can imagine I was very keen to hear her music and I really hoped I would like it!!
And I did.
So thank you friends for looking out for me and for feeling comfortable in gving me alopecian inspired gifts. am loving it!
