Wow! 7 years have gone by and I forgot all about this blog. I logged in with the intention of deleting it but actually I think I’ll write something instead... My mum died nearly 5 years ago and her cancer diagnosis, illness and death were the hardest things I’ve ever experienced. It was like a whirlwind of emotion and really painful at times. Mum became our focus and centre of life and we did everything we could to care for her mentally and physically. I feel like I can breath again now though.... life is normal... ish.  I had a baby! She’s 3 and is a little miracle. Born with just one lung and other complications she amazes us everyday with how well she is. She doesn’t take any medication and can do everything that any other child can do. I still have trichotillomania. I carried on wearing hair systems for a number of years and then in 2019 I decided to shave my hair and embraced the bald look. I had scalp micropigmentation (SMP) done to give me a buzz cut look, bought some woolly hat
