I shut down Tara's computer and just sat quietly for a moment.  Me losing my hair was traumatic, no doubt, but I chalked it up to stress and age.  I had no idea that Tara was concerned about how I was affected by hair loss.  In truth, it did bother me.  I was eventually going to go to the doctor and make sure nothing was wrong.  I needed to take a walk.  It's always amazing to me when you find out the depths of how your partner may care about you, and you don't even realize it.  The weather was finally warming up around here, so it felt good to get outside.  I did have to wear a hat though, due to my thinning hair.  This was something I didn't have to do even last fall.  It was about October or maybe November when I noticed the clumps of hair on the pillow.  Then I noticed them in the shower.  I thought it had mostly to do with stress and age, as I said, but when I told Tara she said that she would get to the bottom of it.  I knew that meant that she would research every little thing about hair, and that I would have to listen to what she found out.
