All weekend I have been checking your blog. Did she post anything yet? How about now? I’m glad that you have been experimenting with your hair – have fun with it! You’ll know when it is time to ditch the wig! YOU ROCK, MAMACITA! Let the world know it!

Laura,

I love you! It’s hysterical that you keep checking my blog. You see me every day; just ask me anything you want to know. Mostly, I tell you everything anyway. If I haven’t said it lately, it is the most special thing to me that we are once again in the same school. Just knowing you are there makes things better. And I will get Caleb to say, “Nana Dottie.” Thanks for pushing me over with the hair thing. You gave me the incentive to ditch the hats.

Love, Dottie

Mom, I love the post and your links – I am impressed you are a You Tuber – you and Elliott have a lot in common! I love you and I think you can rock that short hair no problem.

Teresa,

I don’t know if I rock with the short hair, but at least I’m liberated and free of hats. You know I have the best blog man imaginable. Any feature I ask for, he sets up; and he talks me through uploading pictures and videos. Not to mention, my new flat screen, wireless mouse, and web cam. I can’t wait to talk to you via computer camera. Thanks for bringing Elliott into my life.

Love, Mom.

Geez Dot, I never found all those girls that were cuter than you. How did I miss them? The general concensus at the time was that you were right up there with the best of them. Guys talked about those things you know.

Steve,

Where were you when I was 16 and needed to know all that? I can’t fault you for that. You’ve come through for me all these years later. I do believe your prayers and the prayer groups you’ve added my name to are working.

Thanks for your friendship and your prayers,

Dottie

Dottie -

Great Job going Hatless at school! It looks great!

Jodi,

Thanks! It lifts me up to hear hair compliments. I’m glad we’ve come to know each other.

You go for it !! Whatever makes you feel good, if it’s getting too hot for those hats ditch them!!! Have a blast you may even end up liking your new hair in a couple of weeks, who knows!
Love ya.

Ann,

Thanks for always be there for me! I did ditch the hats and none too soon. It was getting way too hot. I can’t express what all those Goolsby books did for the Harmon kids. Patti, our literacy specialist, wanted to cry when one of our most hard-core fifth grade boys could not believe he was getting two books to keep for his own. Since I deal with a lot of discipline, that didn’t bring tears to my eyes, but all of the children were so delighted and amazed that they could keep the books to be their own. Every child selected two books. You and Goolsby rock!

See you soon, Dottie

Dr. Dottie-
since I didnt call you that in class, I guess I will here! You are so fantastic I hope you know that! Amazing, that is the word I would use to describe you with no hat! See you soon!!

Your Favorite College student
Melanie

Melanie,

I know I don’t have to tell you how special you are to me. You met me when I started down the chemo road and just wanted to hold on to my hair until last summer’s term ended. I did make it through that with you and the rest of The Best Class Ever. Now you’ve made it through two more courses with me, and I love the way you gobble everything up and try it the next day in your classroom. Anyway, it was great seeing you every week and knowing you were cheering for me. You saw the whole cycle…red and blond highlighted hair, wig, hats, and new white hair.

Love, Dr. Dottie

Mom, you are so cute with your new hair! And thank you for that blog … now I know where I got my hair obsession from. I love you!

Krista,

I love you for calling me cute with my new hair. I think that’s quite a stretch! Unfortunately the hair obsession is probably not the only one you got from me.

I love you, Mom.
