Going, going, gone…..
September 28, 2008
It began on Friday. My husband started to loose his hair. A small dose of reality sets in for me. I guess I didn’t realize that he would begin to loose his hair after only one dose of chemo… wow!
It has been so nice for the last 2 weeks. A reprieve for all of us. No chemo, no radiation. But I knew this day would come.
I knew the real battle was just around the corner. Tomorrow Peter begins more chemo, and daily radiation for 6 weeks.
The 2 week reprieve was wonderful while it lasted.
Friday night– I snapped some shots of Peter at Julia’s soccer game… and took photos throughout the weekend.
So today we had some fun… we had a hair cutting ceremony with the kids.
Lissy had the honors of the first cut…
Peter was making some hilarious faces…
O.K… so we’re almost there. Peter left just a little bit for fun.
Wow… it grew back fast! Right!
Momo was so moved by the entire event….. can you see the emotion?
And here’s the final “look”
Peter especially wanted his close friend’s back in Canandaigua, New York –
to see “Kukas” without any hair.
So here we go… Lissy drew a face on him
great job Lissy!
O my gosh!! This was just precious! LOL!! Ahh… poor Peter! LOL! This made me laugh and cry…. what a wonderful way to dive into something that is a really difficult part of chemo… Love the smiley face too! LOL… oh man! Bless you my friend! What an incredible family the Pakulis family is! Wow!! Such fun!
What an AMAZING family!! From tears, to smiles, to laughter, and all over again! Oh my gosh– I loved the wig style show!!! lol– Lissy drew a greatpiece of artwork, but hey she had the BEST backdrop ever—-her daddy!!! MO MO was way too excited—lol

I do believe you struck some heavy blows at the enemy with this happy and heartfelt, and very poignant ceremony.
Love you all!
