Dear Dr Shapiro,
After i drove home from therapy today i had so many thoughts. i was thinking about you loosing your hair. i thought and i thought about it, because to us its a curious thing. We don’t mean to be offensive, or hurtful, we just want to know. And you told us you didn’t like it. and well, i think we understand. to the average woman hair means beauty, and we thought maybe you felt un-beautiful because you lost your hair. To us you are still beautiful, to us it doesn’t matter, we love you as you are. But now i think we understand more.
but we wanted you to know that you are so much more than your hair. to us, you are so much more. not just your curls, you are smart, and amazing, and funny. you are loving and caring, and so very strong. You are one of the best therapist i have ever had, and one of the most inspiring women i’ve ever met. And if i ever made you feel any different. if i ever made you question your beauty, i am sorry. Please know that.
I wanted to post a music video, but i couldn’t get it to post here. It’s called “I am not my hair” and it’s by India Arie.
love,
k
ps. what would any of us do without you? how would we function?
