Re: To Whom It May Concern

I sat by his bed as they were prepping the surgery room. "But I like your hair..." I said sadly, frowning pitifully at him. Even though I liked him more than his hair.

"Your hair is the best..."

"It'll grow back really fast." I told her, still fighting to keep my eyes open. "After I get out of here we'll have that dinner I mentioned..." I watched as my hair was coming off. I had a nice bruise on the left of my head according to the nurse.

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 10:47 pm

I looked down at the picture of him on my phone. He had all of his hair. "Hmm... I'm sure you'll still look great!"

"Ma'am, we need you to leave." A nurse said softly.

I nodded and stood. "Be a good patient Matt!" I grinned, trying to be positive about the whole matter as I waved goodbye before walking toward the door.

I'd slept for a couple days after the surgery. I was just so tired and without the massive head pain I was actually feeling like I could rest easier. I couldn't wait to get out of the hospital. A few new scars, a shaved head.... I looked dashing.

Sarcasm.

I sat by his bed as he slept, reading my hot pink Bible with my legs crossed and an ominous bag beside me.

I had a present for him!

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:12 pm

I woke up around noon and heard a page turn. Glancing out of the corner of my eye I saw Rae reading. I was doing my best to be quiet but she'd want to know that I was awake.

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:15 pm

I scrunched up my face in concentration at a verse and got a highlighter out of my purse. I ran it over the words carefully, inadvertently letting my tongue slip out of my mouth. I sure I looked pretty serious. >.>;;

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:16 pm

I waited until she was done and smiled, "Sorry I overslept..." I whispered. My voice actually sounded a little bit better.

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:18 pm

I turned and grinned. "It's okay! I have a present for you! Do you want to see it?"

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:20 pm

"Yeah, I'd like to see it." I waited for her to show me and was glad that my eyes were staying open! I needed to see what she had right?

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:25 pm

I pulled it out of the bag and held it out for him to see. I wasn't too good at the delivery of gag gifts. "For until your hair grows back!" I said through tears of laughter as I held up hot pink braided pigtails.

"I think it'd really suit you!"

Ah yes... wigs for the bald... it's way too easy of a joke!

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:26 pm

I slipped it on with a laugh, "Dan isn't going to see me in this and if he does I'll shave his head and make him wear it. Seriously." I played with one of the sides and stared at her, "Is that all?"

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:32 pm

I shook my head through giggles. "No! H-Hold on!" I dug through my bag of things and held a hat out to him. It was black with a dark red cross on the side. "I saw it in a booth on the way here... it just screamed: 'I'M FOR MATT!' "

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:33 pm

I tossed off the wig and grinned from ear to ear, "Oh man... this..." I was so happy. It was the nicest looking hat I'd ever seen! I rested it carefully over my head and smirked, "How do I look?"

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:34 pm

"Like a very handsome and very bald Christian rock singer who loves a good hat." I said with a smile.

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:38 pm

"I'll continue to wear it even when my hair grows back. I love it." I kissed her cheek and then proceeded to get on with a new conversation.

"What were you reading?"

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:41 pm

"The little hot pink book you gave me. Apparently it's all a true story... kinda hard to believe... but then again... not really." I was practically addicted to it. I was already in Numbers... and I actually wasn't too bored.

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:42 pm

I smiled at her and took her hand, "Do you want to pray?" I asked her, "I do... I just feel like we should if that's okay."

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:45 pm

I smiled. "I'd really like that..."

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:47 pm

And with that I took her hands and prayed. I wasn't sure how long I prayed but I knew it was touching her and I knew it was touching me. My heart was racing when I finished.

"Amen." I said, facing her once again and looking into her eyes.

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:52 pm

I was crying again... and again, they were happy tears. "Th-thanks." I whispered with a smile.

**Ikuar** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:53 pm

"You're welcome."

Even with all this testing that God was putting me through I knew then and there that there was a purpose for it. I thanked God for it all and showing Rae how He worked.

I smiled at another thought.

I'd certainly be there for her next recording. I had a feeling some of the music would be very different.

**Jayrin** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:58 pm

I kissed his cheek with a smile and grabbed the hot pink wig beside him and stuck it on my head. "How do I look?" I asked as I arranged my hair so it wouldn't be visible.

**Ikuar** Thu Mar 18, 2010 12:00 am

"Gorgeous! Your smile shows more than that so it's all I'm really noticing." Suddenly I wanted out of this hospital badly. I was ready to get back to my life.

-Some Months Later-

I sat at the recording studio with my head on a nearby table, trying to take a well-deserved nap.

BUT everyone kept calling me to listen to myself.

Currently though, they were adding in sound effect into the recording. Time for me to catch a snooze... maybe.
