Sounds like your niece was beautiful inside and out. Sorry for your loss.
Your suggestion on the way Will Smith could’ve responded was perfect.
A long time ago, chemo took my hair for a year. Luckily, I had a sense of humor about the baldness. My hair grew back as full as ever. But, first it sprouted on the sides with baldness on top. I showed my brother and we laughed and laughed.
Will Smith’s wife isn’t bald. She’s said her hair is thinning, so she had it shaved down very short. I saw a clip of her crying about her hair. Quite frankly, I thought she was overreacting. I guess her husband overreacts to things, too.
Good for you, as it has been said, laughter is the best medicine……I guess. Only special people are able to find humor in tough times, and you are one of them! Another little nugget from my niece. All of us family women went out to eat one night, Kim had just a few months to live. So she had a glass of wine and I was nervous about her drinking with the meds she was on. Then she got another glass, I said, “No more wine! It might make you sick”. She looked around the table with a silly look, pointed to her head and said, “duh”.
