A Rite of Passage

I thought I would share this. I have never met Ashley personally, but I do follow her blog, Little Blue Boo. Last fall, after having a miscarriage earlier in the year, Ashley and her husband tried to get pregnant again. This time, her pregnancy resulted in a rare form of cancer called Choriocarcinoma.
This form of cancer spreads quickly, and Ashley’s case has been no different. She is fighting, living joyfully and gracefully in spite of the ways it has challenged her faith and impacted her family.

A few weeks ago, she shaved her head. That beautiful head of long blonde hair.

I know this is a normal step for most cancer-fighters and so many women go through the same process with such strength.
Ashley documented this rite of passage, as she calls it, in this touching video. Seriously, you should watch it.
Just think about how blessed you are.
