Hair Cut and Scarf Bonding with some wonderful girls

Well it was suggested yesterday by a couple of wonderful nurses at the Willamette Valley Cancer Center that it might be a good idea to cut my hair short soon, as it would be starting to fall out in 2-4 weeks, this would help me avoid the hair fall out shock. Juliana brought Katrina home from their journey to Demi's Confirmation and she offered to cut it for me - I don't think that I've had it this short since 8th grade. Thanks Juliana for doing such a good job.

Then we got carried away with scarf bonding, testing out the hats and the ways to tie scarves. I have the best daughters, they are amazing. Emily joined in the fun too. It would have been fun to have Mom, Betty, Demi, Ingrid and Ellie.

It looks like Patrick did his bit and shaved his head, Anthony thought he looked like an alien, but I think that he is as handsome as ever.

Below are some pictures of our Scarf day.

Thank you all for the great day - I love you all. May God Bless my amazing family.

Hi Linda!

Today happened to be the day I cut off 15" of my hair too! I still have it with me. (Do you have any suggestions as to which organization I send? Or, would you use it for yourself??)
I've been thinking of you alot. I know it's hard, but you're blessed to be surrounded by people with full of love!

BIG HUGS!

Thanks Ari - I think that Locks of Love is a great place to donate your hair - http://www.locksoflove.org/ They make wigs for kids who have cancer. Are there pictures on your Facebook? I bet you look beautiful with short hair. It would be great to see you sometime, don't know when I'll get to Portland though. God bless you, Linda

Hi Linda--I have a pic of my hair that's been cut of, not a pic of myself yet(I'll work on it sometime soon). It's not as short as expected, even after 15". Nothing dramatic, cuz I'm going for donation #2 in a few years! I've heard of Locks of Love, so I'll probably go for that. Yes, it'd be great to see you, too...it doesn't need to be Portland, someday Frank and I might come down there unannounced and just knock on your door, so be prepared! Haha!

LOTS OF HUGS!

O QUEEN OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, Most Holy Virgin, we venerate thee. Thou art the beloved Daughter of the Most High God, the chosen Mother of the Incarnate Word, the Immaculate Spouse of the Holy Spirit, the Sacred Vessel of the Most Holy Trinity.
O Mother of the Divine Redeemer, who under the title of Our Lady of Good Remedy comes to the aid of all who call upon thee, extend thy maternal protection to us. We depend on thee, Dear Mother, as helpless and needy children depend on a tender and caring mother.

Hail, Mary....

O LADY OF GOOD REMEDY, source of unfailing help, grant that we may draw from thy treasury of graces in our time of need.
Touch the hearts of sinners, that they may seek reconciliation and forgiveness. Bring comfort to the afflicted and the lonely; help the poor and the hopeless; aid the sick and the suffering. May they be healed in body and strengthened in spirit to endure their sufferings with patient resignation and Christian fortitude.

Hail, Mary....

DEAR LADY OF GOOD REMEDY, source of unfailing help, thy compassionate heart knows a remedy for every affliction and misery we encounter in life. Help me with thy prayers and intercession to find a remedy for my problems and needs, especially for... (Indicate your special intentions here).
On my part, O loving Mother, I pledge myself to a more intensely Christian lifestyle, to a more careful observance of the laws of God, to be more conscientious in fulfilling the obligations of my state in life, and to strive to be a source of healing in this broken world of ours.
Dear Lady of Good Remedy, be ever present to me, and through thy intercession, may I enjoy health of body and peace of mind, and grow stronger in the faith and in the love of thy Son, Jesus.

Hail, Mary.....

V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of Good Remedy,
R. That we may deepen our dedication to thy Son, and make the world alive with His Spirit.

Some history on our Lady of Good Remedy - 800 years ago Christians were being captured and sold into slavery by the thousands, and nobody knew what to do about it. Then, in the year 1198, a man had an idea. St. John of Matha founded the Trinitarians to go to the slave markets, buy the Christian slaves and set them free. To carry out this plan, the Trinitarians needed large amounts of money. So, they placed their fund-raising efforts under the patronage of Mary. They were so successful at that, over the centuries, the Trinitarians were able to free thousands and thousands of people and to return them safely home. In gratitude for her miraculous assistance, St. John of Matha honored Mary with the title of "Our Lady of Good Remedy." Devotion to Mary under this ancient title is widely known in Europe and Latin America, and the Church celebrates her feast day on October 8. Our Lady of Good Remedy is often depicted as the Virgin Mary handing a bag of money to St. John of Matha. When in need - for whatever reason, but especially where you have had difficulty obtaining help - invoke the aid of Our Lady of Good Remedy, and you will surely experience the power of her intercession.
