Wilson!

Have you ever watched Cast Away with Tom Hanks? I remember going to see it when it came out. (That probably makes me super old. Oh well!) Anyway, do you remember how Tom Hanks only had one friend on the island with him? A volleyball that he named Wilson. Well, this hat has become my Wilson.

It has been my friend over the last 8 months. I wore it everyday for months on end. My sister, Natalie, was my secret Santa this year for Christmas. She got me this adorable hat, but no one could have known how much I would wear it this year. My hair is slowly coming back in. I do not like having such short hair, but it feels SO good to not feel like I have to wear a hat all the time. It's been great to walk around without it for a few weeks now. I can't wait for my hair to get longer!!

I wore a wig for a few months, and I wore scarves a lot as well. But, in March, during spring break, I found my groove with this hat. It was SO easy to wear, much cooler, and just more me. I've worn it to church, I've sang on stage with it, I've worn it to school to pick my girls up, I've just worn it everywhere we've gone this year. My doctors have all seen it. I will love this hat forever. I can't wait to wear it again with a long braid down my back. Just to keep the sun off my face. Not to hide or cover anything up. That will be such a great day!
