So like a while back, my Friend Lee Ann came in to work and her hair that had been half way down her back was now shoulder length, and she explained that she had donated her hair to an organization called Locks of Love that makes wigs for little girls that have lost their hair due to cancer or other conditions.
And I thought, wow, I don’t know if I could do that.
But this week, I re-thought the matter. I went online and read about how they need a minimum of 10″ because 2″ is needed to go into the fastening part and little girls want long hair.
Now mind you, the decision was not entirely altruistic. I mean – I’ve had this really long straight hair and I’ve been kind of like Morticia minus the waistline, or Cher minus the vocal chords, or Rapunzel minus the tower…in short, my lengthy locks weren’t really doing anything for me — although come to think of it I could have been Cousin It next year for Halloween…a now unattainable opportunity….
But so yesterday morning, I got up and was blow drying my over-ample amounts of hair, and as I blew it dry I thought about the little girl that would receive it. I wished I could see her face someday or know her name. And then I prayed. I prayed that she would feel pretty, I prayed that she would be healed physically and emotionally — that she would know how much her Heavenly Father loves her, and that she would feel like a Princess with her new hair.
And then, after work, I went and hacked my hair off.
Woo hoo!!!!!
H.D. Anyone
