Curly Sue

I'm bald - by choice! I make no excuses for it. Well maybe a few: I have REALLY curly hair. Like the un-naturally curly type. Growing up I was always so self-conscious about it. Thinking about it, some of my hang-ups (and I have many) come from my hair issues. And yes, those are real issues even for a guy. And L has curly hair. Although her's is that beautiful, natural looking kind. So here's my dilemma:
What is the chance that Wombie will escape curly hair?
Not great!
What if this somehow, via that psychological mishap that all parents are doomed to screw up their kids, I pass on these issues to Wombie? That's just not cool. But here's the real kicker: I am already in love with this growing invader. There doesn't seem to be much that can change that. I may be wrong, but that's how I feel now. So here's my list (bald and all): I want to be:
1. The best lover, husband, friend of L;
2. A picture of real love to Wombie - a safe place to run.
3.
Well that's about it. I might have curly hair, and I may be bald for now. I have self-confidence issues, fear of failure issues, God-issues, and many more. But I'm learning that love is what makes it all okay. L shows me that daily. Maybe a piece of that love will help Wombie grow into who God made him/her to be. That would be the best.
What I've learnt so far: Being sick sucks! But it sure helps knowing it'll pass with a few drugs.
