Re: Fitting, scan scheduled, but still many questions and doubts

[Guest guest]

,

I was sad to read that you cancelled your appointment yesterday. Not because I

think I am right and you are wrong, but because you write with such anguish in

your emails. I honestly hope that you are able to make peace with this decision

because the regret definitely stinks.

Our plagio story is much longer than I posted previously and I won't get into

all the details, but I will say that I wish I had done a lot of things

differently. Hindsight is always 20/20.

The times that my son's plagio glares back at me now, is when I am bent over the

tub washing his hair or when he gets out of the swimming pool. He has beautiful

hair and wears it a bit longer than most, and honestly, unless he asked me to, I

don't think I would ever consider a buzz cut for him. Also, we are a Hockey

loving family and I wonder if a heavy hockey helmet will hurt his head......or

even fit properly, once he is old enough to get out on the ice. I imagine it

resting on the side that is a bit more prominent and causing him pain because

the weight isn't evenly distributed.

So, there is a partial list of my regrets. I hope and pray that in time, you

won't feel the same way.

If you reconsider your decicion and choose to move forward with this opportunity

for your son, please keep posting. We will support you to the end.
