Bald is Beautiful (Chemo Treatment #4)

Saints can be happy under every circumstance. We can feel joy even while having a bad day, a bad week, or even a bad year! My dear brothers and sisters, the joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.
- Russell M. Nelson

Sam decided to have her head shaved this week as her hair begins to fall out.
Thank you, Taylor, for taking the video. And thank you, Lizzie, for turning the video into this fun, fast version.

Some of the blankets given to Sam.


Sporting some of the headwear given to Sam.


I had to go back a few years (2011) in my photos to find this shirt.

A few more examples of support provided to Sam:

Two Sundays ago a young man knocked on our door. I opened the door and he handed me an envelope and said, "This is for you and your family," and then he left. Inside the envelope was a card with some words of encouragement for Sam along with a significant sum of money. The senders remain anonymous. We have received other financial donations, some in the form of gift cards.

One of Sam's friends dropped off this mug and hot chocolate.
Josh is a young man in our ward (our church group). He saves a bench at church for us each Sunday. This week he decided to shave his head to show his support for Sam. Josh, you are awesome!

Douglas and Penny helped me rake and stomp leaves.
