Donated!

Well yesterday was the day. My girls got their hair chopped off and donated it to Locks of Love. A friend of mine informed me that the salon right around the corner from me, where I was planning on taking them, no longer participates with the program. So I took them here instead.

I think they look really cute and ready for summer! The oldest one was a little sad about cutting it off (even though they were growing it for this very reason). She likes long hair. The younger one, however, has been ready for quite a while, asking me when she could get it cut. After all was said and done, the older one was happy it got cut. She loves the new cut. They are both happy with the way their hair looks now and the feel good about doing something good for someone else.

I am so rediculously proud of our girls for wanting to donate their hair.

I remember that ever since their friend and her mom did it, they have wanted to grow out their hair to donate it.

They are the best girls ever!

I wanted to thank your lovely family for giving of yourselves in this way. I had a 17 year old sister who had one of the wigs that came from the "locks of love" program. I saw firsthand what it does for a teenager with cancer to "have hair" again. God bless you and your girls with heart blessings that cannot be held in your hands, only comprehended in your spirit. Mel
