One day not long before her 15th birthday, Ruby asked if she could get a mohawk haircut, and I was so happy that she’d asked for something underpinned by life – something that implied that she was willing to be around for more than another day or two – that I scraped the money together, and I took her to the hairdresser myself. She came out an hour later with a sculpture on her head in red and green and purple and yellow. And I smiled to see my daughter. I thought, maybe she’ll make it after all. It was the next day that Ruby told me that she was really happy with the haircut, but that the bug inside her head was bothering her with its efforts to get out.
