Happy Holidays! This last month has been life changing, to say the least. I have never been through so many emotional moments. Joy. Dread. Hope. Dispair. Helplessness. Thankfulness. Anxiety. Sadness. Grief. Relief. I could go on. Through all of these emotions all I could truly do was stay in the moment and do want was right in front of me. And that was be there for my Mother and care for her as best I could. Nothing else mattered. Nothing. Life is delicate. Life is so precious. It’s fleeting. Tomorrow is promised to no one. And loved ones can be taken from us in the blink of an eye. As you may know, my mother passed away on Thanksgiving, less than a month after she suffered a major stroke. There were so many hopeful days when it looked as though she might turn a corner. But, in the end, her body just was not strong enough to sustain all the physical challenges she faced. There was a hole in her heart which is how a blood clot got to her brain. She had a hiatal hernia. She carried her stomach high in her ribcage. Because of the stroke, she could not swallow and wasn’t able to direct liquids down the right pipes. There wasn’t just one thing, there were many things that contributed to her passing. I say this not to bring you down, but to remind you and me to celebrate and cherish the lives of those around us while they are here. You never know when they might be taken away. Priorities have shifted and I’m still tying to figure out what lies ahead. I am not stepping way from doing hair. I plan on being back in San Francisco by mid-December. What I am doing, though, is taking a step back from this monthly newsletter. This will be the last “As the Chair Turns.” I have thoroughly enjoyed putting these monthly newsletters together for you over the years, but it is time to close this chapter. Thank you for being such loyal readers. I will see you behind the chair. - Brian +++++++
As always, I am available by email, text or phone if you have any questions or concerns. Looking forward to seeing you soon! Be Well and Take Hair!
