I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how much I enjoyed and appreciated your story. My father is in Stage 4 Melanoma and every day is a blessing. I read about you on a fluke through the Knotty Boy website. Reading about what you and your family have gone through I felt a connection to you and your daughter because my father stood beside me as I built a unique business (like you and your daughter), a Dreadlock salon in Austin, Texas. I will share your story with my father who will probably feel a kindred relationship to you through both the experience of the disease and of having entrepreneur dreadlock daughters I hope he will find inspiration and comfort from your experience. He is 66, lives a healthy and active lifestyle and never had any health problems until this. They are currently attempting a course of experimental chemo as a last ditch effort and the next 3-4 months are crucial. As a daughter I feel stuck on the sidelines watching my father fighting for his life and sometimes getting tired of it. I want so much to jump in the ring and stomp the cancer into oblivion. I put up a calm exterior for him, but I’m so angry about what is happening. My daughter is only 2 and has so much to learn from her grandfather.

Thanks again for sharing your experience and giving me a moment of peace and hope for a happy ending,
Liz Shannon
