Just one, but considering my dad was almost totally gray by the time he was 30 and was full-on silver by 40, I was screwed anyway. So I started dyeing my hair early. But I definitely got a hell of a lot more the first year or two after Charley died. Thank goodness for hair dye and that mine is basically all just right above my ears, so as long as I keep my hair shorter (and thus can't pull any of it back) it's not noticeable. And at least my 2 older sisters (3 yrs and 16 yrs older) have more--way more in my 48yo sister's case--than I do! So my amount might have jumped due to widowhood--or at least I like to claim so--but at least it hasn't pushed me past my 35yo sister's grayness. ;o)<br /><br />I lost a bunch of weight (due to illness) right before Charley died and lost a little bit more after he died. I looked better than I'd looked in years and years, and as miserable as I was in grief, it did help me feel better to know that I looked better. But then grief after the first 1-2 years set in and my weight has since run the gamut...and unfortunately it hasn't taken many dips downward. I don't like it much but I tell myself there are far worse things.<br /><br />Poo, you gray hair on Star's head! Go away, and don't come back (and certainly don't bring any of your little friends)! ;o)Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11637366044613952294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918105604270007470.post-64814794221581764152009-10-07T10:11:52.339-04:002009-10-07T10:11:52.339-04:00Oh my god!!

Though I kept telling people that I earned that gray hair.<br /><br />Now I have a lot of little gray hairs. It's like when one comes, they just grow like crazy.Mars Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11403414048823693159noreply@blogger.com
