Yesterday my hairdresser Jesse, who's been in my life since I was a wee fourteen years old, provided a safe haven in his Seattle townhouse for me to shed my follicles in privacy.
I'm forever grateful for the compassion of those around me. I can't even begin to express my gratitude.
big sis.... you look beautiful, awesome, stunning, amazing... thank you for sharing all these pictures! i love you so much. xoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteJessica, Just wanted you to know that there are many praying for you from your old home of San Juan Island. Your bold comments and insights are inspiring.
ReplyDeleteMay the Lord Jesus, who loves you, and holds you, and walks beside you, be ever so dear, as He guides the surgeon's hands and brings healing and wholeness to you.

I love this post! You are so beautiful no matter what. Thinking and praying for you all the time, thanks for keeping the blog so up to date...it helps to know specifically what to pray for.
ReplyDeleteI knew you would look amazing with a shaved head. (and your friend too) We are all thinking about you. I admire you and your strength and bravery. I feel so confident that everything will be just fine especially with your positive outlook on the whole situation. You Shine Jess, you always have and you always will!
ReplyDeleteI am a friend of a friend who follows your progress on my computer. On the day of your surgery, my thoughts are with you and the people who love you. I think the universe sent me your story of love and determination that I will never forget. All the best.
ReplyDeleteMy, my, my Jessica's, you women are stunning and know how to style the "liberating" look. The shots are fab and those lovely scarfs well, of course, Nora Ephron is nodding yes with applauding approval. You're so ready to tackle this and get on with the rest of your wonderful life. You go girl. xoxoxoxo S & G

Jess, you look BEAUTIFUL! Demi Moore has nothing on you! Your bravery and courage are amazing, and I know you will be just as amazing tomorrow after surgery. No, wait, you will be more amazing for what you have been through. how many times can I say "amazing"? Never too many times when refering to you! As always, you are in my prayers, and I'm sending you all my good vibes!

ReplyDeleteJess, I haven't seen you in ages, but I was devastated when I heard what you're going through! I am amazed reading your blog - you are so strong and funny and wise, I know you will pull through this! My husband, Brandon, had cancer a few years ago. When he was first diagnosed the doctors didn't believe it could possibly be cancer because, in their words, "it would be the worst case they had ever heard of, let alone seen." Needless to say we were terrified. He has now been in remission for almost 5 years and is doing great. You are in my prayers! Lots of love, Rachel Brown (LaPrade)
ReplyDeleteJessie, You are astounding, not to mention beautiful. You're in my prayers and thoughts. Love from all of us -
ReplyDeleteGigi and family

I know your positive shining spirit will carry you through this ordeal!! I admire you soooo much, and will be praying for you tomorrow with all the good vibes and healing thoughts I have. Love You Girlie!!!! Nicole (and Ron)
ReplyDeleteWow, an amazing hairdo for an amazing girl. Thinking of you and sending lots of love and prayers your way. xoxo

You are one amazing woman Jessica!! Beautiful in every way! I am praying for you, I promise! Just read this Dr. Seuss book in class today to the kids and found it to a good little quote,
ReplyDelete"I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!" Stay strong girl!! Love ya!
Jessica, Wishing you the very very best and looking forward to hearing what you have to say on the other side of this. Stay strong,
ReplyDeleteRoberta Crist

Hi Jessica!!! I wish I knew you! I live in Friday Harbor with my hubby and three young kids and I just, 10 days ago, had brain surgery at the UWMC with Dr. Bob Rostomily, a colleague of Dr. Silbergeld. They are amazing! You are in such good hands! Look for Dr. Ali and Dr. Muresh, they rock too! I had a benign meningioma removed from my left, front temporal lobe. No direct grey matter,but still scary. I feel pretty good today, staples out. I look forward to reading about your recovery. If you want to call or be in touch at all, 378-6301 or tzehner@rockisland.com
ReplyDeleteKnow that everyone is here for you and I know that you are going to get through this without a hitch! I'll be singing our favorite Jackson 5 song for you tomorrow morning! Love you! Jenn rigg
