I usually don't get teary eyed, but this made me start crying right in the middle of the library. I lost one of my close friends to cancer when we were still young (23). We had the same name and shared a lot of other similarities. When she lost all her hair, I took the plunge and got an asymmetrical bob (which was the shortest my hair had every been). I only wish I had the courage to go as short as you did. You will certainly brighten your friends day when you guys are reunited!
