I was asleep, but the tackling I felt on my face broke through my dreams. Something soft clung to my fingers, and before long, I realized I woke up to my hair cut. There were plenty of uneven clumps scattered all over my pillow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scared and confused, I ran towards the bathroom. When I saw myself in the mirror I realized it was way worse than I assumed. My once lovely hair was cut unevenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before long, I found myself crying on the bathroom\u2019s floor, too shaky to be able to stand on my feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a couple of minutes, I went straight to the kitchen, where my husband Caleb was casually having his morning coffee. \u201cCaleb, look at me. Did you did this?\u201d I asked, disturbed and with tears still rolling down my face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Caleb\u2019s reaction felt too indifferent for something I felt was a huge deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, honey. Why would I cut your hair?\u201d he said, looking too calm, which only confused me even more. \u201cIt had to be Oliver, you know kids do weird things sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crushed, I went to Oliver\u2019s room. \u201cBaby, did you do this to mommy\u2019s hair?\u201d I asked him, not wanting to scare him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, mommy, but I didn\u2019t meant to,\u201d he said. \u201cI just wanted a piece of your hair to put it in the box so I can have something to remember you by when you are no longer around,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOliver, what are you talking about? I\u2019m not going anywhere,\u201d I tried to assure him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut I heard daddy saying you are. He was the one who told me to keep a box of your things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that moment, all I wanted was to see that box and understand what was really going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oliver opened his wardrobe and pulled out a shoe box. Inside was a photo of our family at the park, the clumps of my hair he cut that night, and a broken necklace I though I lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I felt dizzy. What was my husband hiding from me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCaleb, what\u2019s with the box,\u201d I demanded to know, not able to control my loud yelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was then that my husband handed me a piece of paper. The words \u201cOncology referral. Further testing recommended. Malignant indicators<\/em>,\u201d were written on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caleb looked at me feeling guilty. \u201cI was going to tell you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, I have always avoided speaking to doctors and left my husband handle all my doctor\u2019s appointments. He has always been the one speaking to the medical staff, while I was trying to avoid the details. I trusted Caleb so much that I put my health in his hands, believing it was what love was all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But the moment I woke up to my hair cut and learned the reason behind it was the moment I realized I had surrendered control over my health and was left in the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHoney, I didn\u2019t know how to share this with you,\u201d Caleb said. \u201cI thought I was protecting you, and I never meant Oliver to learn about it. He must have overheard my conversation with the doctor, so he was asking questions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was aware Caleb only meant to protect me, but I deserved to know the truth right away. He shouldn\u2019t have kept me in the dark, not even for a day, not ever for a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That evening, I spoke to my son and told him that the show box he had didn\u2019t have to be a box of bad memories. It could hold our most cherished moments. We drew a picture of our family as superheroes and placed it inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following morning, I made an appointment with my doctor. This time, I was going all by myself. I had no idea what the outcome would be, but I knew I was ready to face the reality and fight for my life if needed. It was time I took control of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
