Original caption

Cancer has a way of taking things you never realized you’d grieve. The day I ran my fingers through her hair, strands coming loose, I realized I wouldn’t be brushing her hair much longer. It’s such a small thing, until it isn’t. Tiny curls on her pillow. Hair caught in my fingers after bath time. Hair loss is one of the first visible reminders that life has changed. Watching Whimsy lose hers has been one of the hardest parts of this journey. It wasn’t just hair. It was the little curls I tucked behind her ears, the wispy strands that caught the sunlight, and all the ordinary moments I never imagined I’d miss. If sharing these pieces of our story helps even one family feel less alone, or encourages one person to learn more about childhood cancer, then this vulnerable corner of our lives is worth opening. Today her curls are returning🤍 #cancer #pediatrics #momtok #cancerawareness
