My 7 year old has been growing her hair out for a while now. It's down almost to the small of her back. She loves it long, loves putting it in pony tails, loves having it curled.
A few months back, she and her mother were watching a show on tv about people with cancer and "Locks of Love" came up. My wife explained how people give their hair to be made into wigs for the cancer patients. At that time, my daughter thought that she might want to do it. The hair kept growing longer and longer and she got too attached to it and had decided against cutting it. Fast forward about 4 months and a little girl in my twins dance class was diagnosed with cancer a few days after Christmas. They removed an orange sized tumor and a kidney from her. Yesterday, there was a front page story about it in the local small town newspaper and my daughter saw it. The picture was of the little girl, with no hair, sitting between her two parents. This morning, on the way to school, my daughter told my wife, "I've been thinking with my head about my hair, how pretty it is, how nice it is.......but I think it's time I think with my heart about it. Momma, can we cut it today and donate it to Locks of Love" Well, she did. She cut 14 inches of hair off. She's got a cute little bob cut and I couldn't be more proud of her right now. -- "We were freedom >From the moment that we hit the ground And the wild man He laid the thunder down" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:252710 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
