I woke up to my hair cut

I woke abruptly, feeling a soft tug on my face. My fingers met uneven clumps of my hair scattered across the pillow. Startled, I ran to the bathroom and stared in shock at my reflection. My once-beautiful hair was now a jagged mess. Collapsing on the floor, I sobbed, overwhelmed and shaky.

Gathering myself, I found my husband, Caleb, calmly sipping coffee in the kitchen. “Caleb, look at me. Did you do this?” I demanded through tears. “No, honey. Why would I cut your hair?” he replied, unnervingly calm. “It had to be Oliver; kids do strange things.”

I gently asked our son, Oliver, “Did you do this to mommy’s hair?” His answer floored me: “Yes, but I wanted to keep it in a box to remember you when you’re gone.” When I assured him I wasn’t leaving, he added, “But Daddy said you are.”

Oliver retrieved a shoebox holding my hair, a broken necklace, and a family photo. Confronting Caleb, he handed me a medical referral with the words: “Malignant indicators.” “I thought I was protecting you,” he said, guilt-ridden.

Realizing I’d ceded control of my health, I resolved to change. After comforting Oliver, I scheduled my own doctor’s appointment. It was time to face the truth and fight for my life.
