Yesterday will be a day that I will never forget. I have never seen more love and support in one room. I cannot express just how thankful I am. My mom and I knew it was going to be busy…but not that busy! It was so great seeing old friends, some that I have not seen for years. It was so wonderful to have my friends, family, teachers, customers, and neighbors all in one place! I am so grateful that I have such a huge support system. I wish I could have hugged every single person in the restaurant and personally say thank you. It meant so much to me to have you all there. From the time I arrived at 12pm to when I left at 12am, I had such a blast. I laughed and smiled so much all day and night that my cheeks were crampin!
I also want to thank all of my best friends: the whole Chili’s staff. I have never seen anyone work as hard as they all did. Some worked the entire day, with extremely short breaks. So thank you guys, you truly are the greatest<3 I appreciate everything you guys do.
The whole day turned out extremely successful! I could not have asked for a better day! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! :)
Today I went to pick my wig up! As I said before, it looks so natural and I actually WANT to wear it. The owner said to start wearing it now so that it starts forming and fitting better to my head. So no more flattening and dealing with my natural hair. It’s kind of nice! My hair is slowing coming out still, mostly just thinning out because my hair is so dang thick. I’m pretty much over being sad about it falling out and more annoyed of it tickling me as it falls out. Everyone says to just shave it off because it’s less messy and stuff, but I don’t mind it. I’m just going to let it go! I have talked to my mom about being scared of it falling out, due to my appearance changing. But then I thought about it. I have had my face reconstructed my whole life and never hid in a room because of how I looked. How is this any different? This is nothin compared to that. So now I am over it. And who know’s, maybe it will just thin out? Whatever happens, I am ready.
I was thinking last night how I have met so many new, amazing people. Also how my relationships with people have changed. The relationships I have with some friends and family have grown immensely. I feel like I am so much closer now to people that I was not so close with before. Some may say that this experience would ruin their life, but really it enriched mine. I cherish my relationships so much more. Each one is so precious to me.
I cannot say it enough, thank you everyone for everything. Your faith in me helps me have faith in myself.
I’ll put up pictures from the event up soon!
Always, Amber :)
