It pains me to post the pics, but I want other people to see that it happens, it happens quickly and they are not alone.
Although Ilin B has not come to terms, nor most likely will he ever come to terms with it, he still lets me take pics for documenting.
People always tell him to "just go bald"
He hates it.
As he points out, this is not "normal bald, this is odd bald"
Here is one of the only patches of hair that grows on the back side. The front he has not cut for 3 years.
You can see how smooth it is….you can also see the Native American he has in him with that nose. Funny how 1/4 of Cherokee, or whatever it was passed right down from his dad.
Any other small hair growth is white and fuzzy, like duck baby feathers.
He told me last night he hasn't shaved his head in 4 months, and this is it.
So the Dr was probably right. He is heading to Total Alopecia.
Well, I'm thankful for Ilin Blue that beanie hats are in style for this age group.
Not sure what he will do for any other age.
I would say: This too shall pass, but…I think I'll stick with:
It is what it is
write ya later,
