The treatments were grueling. Her body was showing the signs. My support was unending, but I don’t think she realized that. I shaved my head the next morning. Actions speak louder than words.

There’s actually an organization that does this, shaves people’s heads for cancer solidarity. They’re called Saint Baldric’s, I think, and they have events where they just shave a bunch of people’s heads in the name of cancer victim solidarity. They shave men and women. You can just look them up on Google, I dunno their exact website…Just thought you might be interested.
Wow…I never knew that. What a great group they must be.
Great use of an idiom, and the story is a perfect illustration of it.
Thanks Guap. 🙂

I follow a little fella on Facebook who just lost all of his hair. The status update this morning was him smiling in the center of about ten bald men. The solidarity always chokes me up.
Aw….that’s amazing. I’m glad he has such a strong support group.
This is a great piece – Amazing how far people will go to support a friend. Just finished Benediction by Haruf – His depictions of the wife/daughter’s support of the MC are stunning.
My niece did that in support of her best friend when they were 13. It left her with a very bad taste in her mouth in regards to society’s basic cruelty. People would openly criticize her talking about her like she wasn’t there. Not a day went by where she didn’t get her heart broken and shattered. I have 100% admiration for all who do this act of loving support!
Wow….what a brave girl to do that at the age of 13. It’s too bad people have such a dark side.
Yeah. They really were ruthless to her and absolutely horrible. I found her to be so generous and incredible!
Good for her!
Aw, this is such a beautiful piece! What a wonderful way to show solidarity and love.
Thank you.
Beautiful and inspirational. Really well done.
Thanks very much.
Love the show of support.
Oh,this is so good & I love the depth! Imagine the love,the devotion,the sacrifice!Actions do speak louder than words & how!Wow is all I can say!
