When D gave me a hug this afternoon, he noticed a gray hair sticking out of the top of my head.

My first gray hair!

Perhaps it's in honor of my list of things yesterday.

For decades now I've been saying I'm impatient for my hair to go gray because it might be easier to dye (it's so dark and resistant to bleach right now).

And I'm always aware of everyone who doesn't get this far. I wonder what my brother would have been like with gray hair. So I am looking forward to people not having to wonder that about me.
