Sarah had a wig made out of her own hair today, thanks to the skilled hands of Anton Schoenbacher of 'Anton's Hair Company' in Bellevue, WA, and the results were astounding! There were tears, there was laughter and by the end of the day there was a lingering sense of hope. Mountains were conquered, fears were faced, and love shone through stronger than death!
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."
-Winston Churchill, 'The Bright Gleam of Victory', 10 November 1942

Memorable Quotes:
Anton (when asked how he got into the wig-making business): "I was too short to be a cop."
Sarah: "This is looking like a really bad haircut." (Said though tears and laughter as Anton shaved off one section of her hair at a time.)
Anton: "You have a beautiful head. Looks like you had no brother."
Sarah: "I don't know if I could go out like this."
Anton: "Oh, baby, they love you. You start something new."
Sarah (touching her now shaved head): "It's coming out all over my hands."
Mom Hawkins: "Boys' hair does that all the time."
Sarah: "What?!"
Anton (while inspecting the wealth of hair donated by Sarah's sister, Bethany): "We might not have needed to take your hair. We could have taken all of hers!"
Anton (while Sarah adjusted her wig): "You can trim those [the bangs], but they grow very slowly."
Sarah: "I feel beautiful again!"

Sarah, you are so beautiful inside and out...but the outside always shows to those who don't know you and you are gorgeous!!
It was great seeing you at the fundraiser and have a little conversation.
I'm reminded of all those times you came into the office wearing something that totally looked weird or ratty, and you made it look like it was out of a magazine. Everyone always said..."only you could pull it off". You are amazing and I look forward to seeing what God continues to do through you. Love you lady!
