Farrah's Hair

In my last blog I related how Farrah just keep moving forward, despite being knocked down she just moved forward. Greg Lott related this story to me that perfectly describes the woman you all hold so dear. Farrah’s hair it’s her brand, trademark, the thing that defined her, that beautiful rich hair. Farrah knew she was about to have another round of chemo for her cancer, knowing the chemo would cause her hair to fall out. Farrah in the ultimate act of defiance cut off her own hair. Cancer didn’t take Farrah’s hair, Farrah did. Now this says a lot about this 110lb beautiful woman. Farrah would not let Cancer take her hair. She would not give cancer the power or glory of taking her hair. That would be a win for cancer wouldn’t it? So Farrah cut off those beautiful locks so cancer couldn’t win. Yes her hair was her brand but in the scheme of things is it the most important thing? Farrah saw her hair as an important battle for cancer to win, so she didn’t let it happen. I know very few people with that toughness, that “grit”. So when you are out there fighting your individual battles, remember there are 86400 seconds in a day. You win in small steps, seconds if you will. Just keep pushing forward.
Fight The Fight

  1. This is so true !
    It is not one day at a time.
    It is not one hour or minute.
    It is each second that counts and Farrah lives each second well.

  7. So very sad for the world...so very good for her because I myself beleive she is in her perfect form now. I have always loved women who were strong and went for what their hearts told them to go for...she was one of those...I think just as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. Funny about twenty five years ago I bought a house and in the bathroom the rug on the floor was her in that most famous poster she did in a red bathing suit...one of my favorite things!!!! What an awesome empowering woman...somehow as sad as it is, her passing, I see her with her beautiful hair and smile again....Farrah only in her now perfect self:)

  10. So sorry for you Redmond, maybe now that your mom is gone you will straighten your life up in her honor. I like to think she is in heaven, where you will not be. Look to the heavens Redmond and strive to be a better person so you can join your mom again. Ryan, you are a phoney! Too bad you couldn't have been a better parent.
