When my brother started going bald, I was away from home..... When I came back he was totally bald, so I never saw him even partially bald. In my minds eye, I have only ever seen him (bald) or remembered him with full hair. I asked him the other day whether he would ever let his hair grow out.

He declined.

What prompted me to say anything at all, was that I saw that he had not kept his scalp it's usual shininess and some stuble was growing. I could see the outline of where there would be hair if he chose to grow it longer than the stuble it was at.

Then I started making subtle bald jokes....few days later, felt bad or guilty for the jokes I had made and noticed myself loosing hair....

In reality now...I don't think I have lost much hair and the false sight of it was brought on by feeling guilty about making fun of my brothers baldness.....

Not a big hairy deal....
I went to the church in the cul de sac with the chrome dome roof and asked forgiveness.....

Fixed up and feeling all shiney and new....I stopped going bald.
