I've been working but this week my doctor didn't want me to push things so I stayed home. On Tuesday I stopped by school to visit my First Graders. I was missing them. This was the first visit without hair. Everyone was a little caught off guard. They knew this was happening but seeing me in the scarf was a bit shocking to say the least. So one of my boys came flying in from the bathroom and yelled across the room....WOW MRS. BERLS YOU LOOK SO COOL! Totally broke the ice and all was good and normal. Then while there some of my girls gave me a gift from the art center...new hair made of multi-color yarn. The hair we all dream of! The girls even wanted to know if they could wear scarves to school too! All the students I ran into at school had strong opinions on my looks. One of my former students even told me I look better this way...is that a compliment?? Another student said that he was sorry I lost my hair but at least now I can wear hats to school! 
Wednesday Ava and I met up with some friends and headed out to Kaleidoscope. Camila, 5, asked me why did Jesus give your doctor medicine that would make your hair fall out that's just crazy? Before I could even answer she said wow but you look stylish in that cute hat. I'm still adjusting to my hair loss but it gets easier every day and knowing kids can't lie makes me think it must not look all that bad!!
Out of the mouth of babes, huh? They are nothing but excruciatingly honest! Wish we could all be like that sometimes. Look at the impact you have had on these kids' lives so far, and what you will be for them in the future. I'll bet you are an amazing teacher! God bless you, Tasha. I am thinking about you and praying for you!
