No more hair.
Feb. 26th, 2006 12:45 pmI can say it. I'm not ashamed to say it. I think 
Philip is devastatingly handsome.
...
Of course, I'm probably biased towards that line of thinking, seeing as how he *is* my husband. But yeah, I think he's a very handsome man.
He left this morning to have his head shaved. Now, he's shaved his head only two other times in our marriage - once was during a haircut from a friend that was so botched it could only be salvaged by coming clean, and the other was during his tour in Saudi Arabia four years ago... and I only saw a picture or two of that time. He's joked now and again about shaving his head, but he's never really done it again because he knows that I can't stand it.
And there are some men that can pull it off very nicely (a little Vin Diesel, anyone?). However, Philip is NOT one of those men. In my opinion, bald looks silly, almost stupid on him. It makes him look like a bug, I think (though don't ask me to explain that - I can't, really - it just does).
When he mentioned he was going to shave his head, I was categorically upset. He knew how I felt about it, so he was quick to explain: he's doing it in support. He has a friend and co-worker with a 5-year-old little boy who has acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Actually, the mother of this little boy is a friend of mine as well, and she's in my Care Circle in Parents at Home. It's been a phenomenally rough year for this family, and I can't imagine what they go through on a daily basis with little Isaac's illness. Travis, the boy's daddy, promised him that he would shave his head when Isaac lost all of his hair to chemotherapy, and as a show of support, several men in the squadron decided to do the same. And Philip is one of those men.
So he left to have his head shaved. And I promise to look on his bald head with a new light this time - it won't be 'ugly.' It will be 'hope.' I think of my friend and her family often, but I'm sure my thoughts will triple during this time, as every time I see Philip's bald head, I'll be reminded of little Isaac.
And Isaac is surely a beautiful little boy.
