Today Maura decided to buzz cut her hair off. Is it possible that she is even more beautiful than before? I never before noticed what great cheekbones she has, or how perfectly shaped her head is, or how beautiful her silhouette. So many beautiful features that were overshadowed by her long, thick, blondish hair are now fully visible. Simply stunning. What a gorgeous daughter I have!
We returned home from the hospital today. Hurray! White blood cell count is normal. Fever is gone. Pneumonia and other infections have been chased away.
Visiting hours are open. We'll be at the hospital on Wednesday and Friday morning but should be around most of the rest of the time.

- This is a picture of my daughter, Maura. She died from metastatic high-grade unclassified sarcoma* on May 19, 2009 at the age of 22. For one year I wrote about her journey with cancer. I don't know if I'll keep writing now or if I'm done. We'll just take it a day at a time. *Sarcoma is a little-known, under-researched, under-funded cancer.

How true! I have always admired Maura's bone structure, and with her new hair style it is accentuated beautifully! It is a fighter look to match her fighter spirit- G.I. Maura!
Live strong!
