Thanksgiving morning
Hayden woke me up early today like he's done in the past to ask if I'd like to spend some time with him before the "terror toddler" gets up, as he calls his brother. We built and finished a couple of lego projects he had and really enjoyed our time together. I'm reminded everyday and every moment spent with him how special he is and what a truly loving, caring and smart my little guy is!!! Such a BLESSING!!! Thank you lord for all you're doing in our lives right now!! I did notice a few stray hairs falling down Hayden's face, which I removed and then realized after grabbing a small chunk and it falling out that he has reached the point of losing his hair following his latest chemo round yesterday. He's ok with it, but wanted reassurance it would grow back and that I would keep my head shaved as long as he was in treatment and without hair...which I quickly agreed to! We will be having a head shaving party sometime this weekend after thanksgiving for all of Hayden's hardcore supporters to really show their support and shave their hair off. Thanks be to God for he is good!! Happy thanksgiving to you all!! ~ Nate

What a nice picture and great story! Happy Thanksgiving Hayden! You will look like a rock star when your hair falls out. And think of all the great hats you will get to wear. I am thinking a nice SF Giants hat will look really good on you! And btw, Nate, Hayden looks like your mini me!
