"you are beautiful, even when you stand in front of the mirror and frown and you don't like what you see, you are beautiful...i sit on the bed and stare at my hands. you are so beautiful."
Said to my friend Faisreh by Al-Shandihar, her husband, the first time she saw herself in the mirror the day after her mastectomy, because of breast cancer a month before he proposed to her. They're still married 5 years later, and she's finally convinced that she's still beautiful. I always thought that Shandy, as I call him, was cool, but when she told me recently what he tells her daily, I knew I was right. And she's been cancer-free now for 6 years!
