Let's Get Personal
General Talk
I've looked at other peoples dreads for about the last 25 yearsand thought they looked wonderful but was never brave enough to let my own hair dread. I was always worried about not being able to get a job or losing my hair if I didnt like them.Things changed for me in May last year when my partner of 15 years was diagnosed with terminal cancer. By the time they had diagnosed it had spread throughout his body. He was so very brave even though he was in terrible pain most of the time. His only concern about dying was about leaving our little boy without his dad. He died in July last year and as you can imagine my world was turned upside down. It made me really look at my own time on this earth and made me realise that living in the moment is truly the only way to cope and try to be happy..so I have started the dread journey and I am loving it. For me it is also part of a healing process and makes me feel connected to ..everything..which in turn makes me feel connected to my lovely man. Sorry, it might all sound corny but its how it is for me.
