Yes. My friends. It is a sad, sad day. For me, it is the beginning of the end. My dear friends, I will need your support during this difficult time.
Here is proof. Proof of my sad day. Proof of my very first, honest-to-goodness GRAY hair! I found it on my head today.
At first, when I saw it, I thought for sure it was just one of Roxie's hairs that somehow landed on top of my head during my shower. Strange. It must be. Yes. A simple dog hair. Same color, same length, same texture (oh Lord!)... so I took a deep breath and grabbed it and tenderly tried to remove the offensive item. But it stuck. And then it dawned on me... it was ATTACHED!
It was not Roxie's.
It was mine!
Oh God.
*Yank!*
Isn't it hideous? It's so... so... SHINY! Like a beacon, screaming to the world, "I am old! And GRAY!" And it was sticking. Straight. Up.
Yes, the beginning of the end for sure. I feel old. I think I feel tired all of a sudden. I think my left hip hurts a little. I hadn't noticed that before. Maybe I should go drink some milk.
I can no longer be "that girl" who can honestly say, "Oh (giggle) gosh, I don't have any gray hair." She is gone. There is a new girl in town. A new, older, grayer girl. Is grayer even a word?
I just want to thank all of you for loving me in my prime and I hope you can find it in your hearts to still love me, even as an old gray hag. We've had some good years together, haven't we? It's been fun. Thanks for the memories.
