Jasmine Update

"I'm still upset about my little Jazz. I guess it hadn't really hit me yet that she has cancer. It didn't really become real for me until tonight. Sure, she's been in a wheelchair since the surgery, but it didn't hit me until heather said the words, "It just fell out in my hands."

Now it's REAL. Now I can't be in denial anymore. The next time I see her, the next time anyone sees her, she will look sick. I don't have any idea how I will stay strong for her. How can I walk up to her and give her a hug and tell her she's going to be OK? And I worry about Heather. What do I do for her? What about the siblings? I feel so helpless, and now's the time when I want to help the most.

But I can't make it better. Nobody can. And that really hurts."

Jasmine's hair has fallen, and her mother has shaved off the rest. I promised Jasmine I would shave mine, so now I do it.
