Lifes Like That

My daughter is eight years old, and for as long as she can remember, she has had long hair. It does seem like a hassle to her to have to get it brushed and put up every day for school, but she is as proud of her hair as her father and I are. Everyone who meets her compliments her on her beautiful hair and I think that’s one of the reasons why she does keep it so long without a fuss.

Last week she was watching a show on TV about donating your hair for cancer patients for wigs and indicated that this is something that she wants to do. This is the ONLY reason why her father and I would consider letting her get her beautiful hair cut. (her grandmother has cancer and she wants to donate her hair for a wig for her). I was just reading over at Angie’s blog how she wants to grow her hair out for the same reason. I commend both of them for their kind thoughts and wish there were a lot more people out there who had this kind of compassion.
