A Heart Of Gold...
A heart of gold....
This blog should have been done a couple of weeks ago. This happened on August 18th.
As we all know, my daughter has a huge heart. But she also has alot of hair. She loves Hannah Montana so you do the math. Her hair is beautiful. Long and rich. Very thick. Like mine but not all dyed and in layers. Oh well. Such was my youth.
But shower time was getting to be hell. Shampoo, conditioner, knots, more knots, fighting and then finally its done. It was getting a little tiresome every night. But everyone wanted her hair. The lady across the street at camp had long hair too but she cut it off and donated it. Cami said she would like to do the same but kept saying no. She would cut it but she didnt like the idea of someone else having it.
I showed her the website for Locks Of Love and let her read everything and see pictures of those that donated their hair and those that received it. Before and after shots of the kids that didnt have hair. She liked the idea that she was helping someone. She thought that they took the hair and glued it to their own to make themselves prettier. I told her that wasnt the case. Now she knows the reasons why.
Then one night, my dearest friends told her that he would do it too and that if he did it, would she do it with him. She agreed. He went out and did it a few days later. Some lucky little girl will now have all his long black curls. Im jealous. But Cami said that she would do it but only one person would be allowed to cut it. Maria. She works at the salon and shes the one that does my hair. Shes the one that gave Cami her first hair cut. Well Cami have herself her first haircut and Maria had to fix it.
But Maria isnt always around because she travels alot. So a few days after LW did his hair, I got a call from my father to come over because my sister and my neice were at his house. We went right over and Cami asked my neice to do it. She said sure and got her bag. She showed her where she would cut and Cami said ok. She put the bands in to section off her hair and then Cami looked in the mirror again to make sure she was ok with what length would be left over. She agreed it was ok. We gave her about five chances to do this. She agreed every time.
After about 45 minutes, it was all done and the hair was put in an envelope. Cami looked in the mirror and she swished her hair from side to side and jumped up and down and said that she liked how it bounced. She was happy. There was still alot of hair left over. She looks beautiful and her hair looks even more thick and soft. She said she will grow it all back out and do it again. She likes the idea of the process and what happens to her hair. It made her feel like she can make an impact on someone elses life.
Kudos to you Cami. And thank you sooooo much Tiff. You both did something so wonderful. I love you both deeply.
