In the early morning hours of Sepember 25th, 1999, Ethan William Spark was born. It was a joyous occasion. Just before the sunrise my head hit the pillow and I looked forward to sleeping like a log. Instead I slept fitfully, dreaming that somebody kept tickling my nose. During my sleep major clumps of hair fell out on my pillow. I was more than shocked when I woke up and saw the hair lying on my pillow. The worse was here!! The next morning we saw Mom and baby.

That weekend I took the bold pro-active approach and asked my daughter-in-law Heather Marchant to shave my head. I was now officially bald! Family tried to console me by saying that I had a nice shaped pretty head. It didn’t make me feel much better. My husband and I drove to a wig shop, found a wig and bought it. It was very close to my hair color so it looked very natural. I only wore it to see the doctor and out in public.
