Sorry I'm late to this wonderful captured memory of a Christmas Harry. Can't believe I nearly missed it. You always bring back my own memories with your evocative accounts. Very much enjoyed reading.

What special memories Harry.
Posted on Sun, 06 Oct 2024
What special memories Harry. I loved the part about how your nan met her husband. I often wonder what my own life would have been like, had I gone down a different path.
We can learn so much about our own history by listening to our older...

Hi Jean,
I was watching on youtube a poem read by a poet named Maya Angelou, called Still I Rise. This poem reminded me of you and your courage, when faced with the distress you're enduring.

I too have never heard of chemo curls. Went through a similar experience as you when I was younger. My hair is straight too. It was when a friend asked me to be a maid of honour at her wedding in about 1978. She wanted me to have permed hair so I...
