Why a Husband Laughed In Wife's Face After Post-Chemo Makeover
It's the news we're all afraid of hearing one day. It's the worst-case-scenario. It's when a medical disaster hits and the odds aren't in our favor. Which is exactly what happened to this one couple when they were told after 63 years together, they would have to band together for the fight of their life.
How this one husband chose to "support" his wife, took the internet by storm.

When long-term couple "Nana" and "Papa" learned Nana had cancer, they didn't hesitate to start treatment.
Chemotherapy is no joke, but no amount of reassurance can prepare someone for the uphill battle they are about to climb. One of the first daunting obstacles a woman under going chemotherapy must face? Losing their hair. While there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, it can be difficult for women to "find their inner warrior" after be forced to shaved their head. Losing your hair during cancer treatment can cause unpleasant emotions like fear, anger, embarrassment, etc. Some people find that being proactive by shaving their heads gives them a sense of control and helps them get comfortable with their new look. After shaving their head, it's not uncommon for women to wear fashionables head coverings like scarves or wigs.
In uncertain times like these, it's when chemo patients need their loved ones more than ever. But "Papa" was the husband who had a shocking way of showing his support when he saw Nana's "post-chemo" makeover. And his devoted daughter, Jenn (@jennjensc) caught it all on camera.

As any loving daughter would, Jenn stood alongside her mother to help her with her new transition. Nana wasn't sure how Papa would receive her "new look." In order to make it fun, the two women plotted a "wig reveal" and the results couldn't be more surprising.
"My parents have been married for 65 years. She was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. He tried to be encouraging."

Jenn's TikTok video opens on her father, Papa. She whispers that her mom is trying on wigs and she is ready to show him what she has. Papa seems hopeful. "She's trying on wigs? Oh that's good," he says. But when the camera pans to Nana and Papa sees her for the first time, it's safe to say the results were not what he was expecting. And his reaction can't hide his shock.
In the hilarious and heartwarming video, Nana's wig is undeniably silly. The long black hair is down to her waist and styled in two braids. While Papa tries to be supportive, like any good husband would, he just can't help himself. Nana is the first one to crack a smile at how ridiculous she looks. Then Papa comes back with the most hilarious observation. "You look like Willie Nelson," he remarks. And it's funny because it's true!
The comment section blew up with all kinds of supportive comments. "I was prepared to cry but didn’t expect it to be from laughing 😂 this is gold," one user wrote. Jenn replied to the comment agreeing wholeheartedly, "We haven't stopped laughing," she wrote back.
Jenn's video of her parents went viral overnight. The video racked up over 5.3M views and more than 35,000 comments! Nana and Papa were such hit that their newfound fans were requesting follow up videos. And they didn't disappoint!
Here's the hilarious and heartwarming way this couple "celebrated" Nana reaching the halfway mark of her chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

In life, there are no guarantees, but Nana's journey is a powerful reminder of the importance of resilience, humor, and the support of loved ones.
Despite facing the daunting reality of chemotherapy and the changes it brings, she found a way to turn an overwhelming moment into something lighthearted, sharing joy and laughter with her family and the world. Her story teaches us that even in the face of adversity, we can choose to embrace life with grace and a sense of humor.
Nana's ability to laugh, even during one of the most challenging times of her life, encourages us all to take things one day at a time and to find reasons to smile, no matter what we face. It's a valuable lesson on resilience and the strength of human spirit.

If You've Ever Been Afraid Of Ending Up Alone, You Need to Read This
Finding the right person can take a lot of work. Often, we get it wrong many times before we get it right.
Give it enough time and you start to feel as though something is wrong with you. Maybe you’re the difficult one. Maybe there’s really no one out there that’s perfect for you.
Maybe, in all this chaos, you were somehow left out of the divine order and have no perfect partner.
Then it hits you: Will you be alone...forever?
The thing is, there are some really big misconceptions entwined with the idea of finding the one (and the source of our loneliness).
These misconceptions not only convince you that the situation is worse than it really is when you haven’t found someone, but also that this person is supposed to fulfill some destined role in your happiness. So, of course, until they arrive, you feel lonely and incomplete.
Let’s talk about it.
Irrational fears are more common than you think
This is one half of the problem.
Often, when you think that you’ll never find someone to live out the rest of your days with, you’re steeped in your own irrational anxiety about the future.
Sure, there’s never any guarantee that you’re going to find someone. However, that can be said about anything in life. You don’t know what the future will bring and, the likelihood is, you have way more time to find someone than you believe in your anxiety-ridden mind at the moment.
You never know when or where you’re going to meet that person who just might be your perfect mate. I met my wife during the most unlikely time in my life, a time when I wasn’t remotely looking for a relationship, and the same can and may happen to you. You could meet them tomorrow or next year and prove your anxiety about the situation completely unfounded.
Of course, as I said, there are no guarantees. But, really, this is the less important of the two points...
You were never alone to begin with
Most of us depend on finding that right person to complete us and make us feel happy and complete. We’ve convinced ourselves that our entire happiness hinges on finding this person. In such situations, our happiness ebbs and flows like a wave in the ocean, rising high when we meet someone new and dipping when we go through yet another breakup.
And that’s really the problem. You need to realize that your happiness isn’t dependent upon finding a partner. If you’re worried about being alone than the likelihood is, you’re suffering from “the one” syndrome like so many other people. If that’s the case, it’s not by finding someone that you’ll realize happiness, it’s by realizing that you don’t need someone at all. Do that and the loneliness subsides.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting a romantic relationship. They make life exciting and joy-filled. However, a lot of things do that such as following your passion, connecting more deeply with your circle of loved ones, and helping others. The problem is depending on romantic love to fill a void.
I get it, maybe you’re a hopeless romantic. However, no matter what your disposition, you can realize a version of yourself that is filled with joy and purpose even without romance.
Once you do that, you realize that you were never alone to begin with and that your happiness isn’t dependent upon someone else.
