the kindest cut

My younger sister got married and had kids way before I did.  We didn’t live in the same city, but I happened to be in town visiting when their first child had her hair cut.  Rachel was around 2, and she sat in the chair and sobbed.  I found it so painful to watch her sobbing that I started crying, too.  And I begged my sister to stop the haircut and just go home.

IMG_4653 The other day I had a similar experience with my own daughter.

I’ve watched many, many haircuts since Rachel’s.

This one was for a good cause.

At least no one cried this time.

 

But I still found it hard to watch.

    My niece has done Locks of Love once or twice. It’s a great idea.

    As a veteran of chemo, I think it’s a great idea, too. And I’m donating next—just a few more inches to go.
