My husband has a new wife

Not really, just one with new hair. Since he's known me, more than 12 years, I've had shoulder-length or longer auburn hair, thanks to garnier or other products. So, here I am facing chemo, and likely loss of my long thick hair. But yesterday, in my effort to come to terms, some acceptance of having cancer, and starting chemo in two weeks, I went to the hair salon, cut my hair very short, went nearly my natural grey. Cried and laughed, and waited for the shock of D.'s face when he saw me no longer with my mane of lion hair, but funky short, spiky hair. He's getting used to it, as am I, but feels as though he is married now to a new wife, with such a different look.
