As many of know, I've been growing my hair out for several years. I just wanted to experience long hair and see if I could do it. I loved it. I always said that when I decided to cut it, I would donate it to Locks of Love. Ever since I found out I was pregnant with Elinore I've wavered back and forth about cutting. I just couldn't decide what to do. Finally practicality took over. The time came, and on Friday I headed to Denisio's to make a drastic change. Whenever I hesitated about cutting my hair, Kevin would say, "It's just hair." I knew he was right and yet I couldn't get him to understand how difficult it was to cut it so drastically. As God would have it, there was a special on the Today Show on Thursday about Locks of Love. It spotlighted a few girls donating their hair. They spoke of the same difficulty I was feeling. "Your hair is a part of you, and it's hard to give away a part of you," this 12 year old said. That's it. Kevin can understand that. They also spotlighted a 12 year old girl who was receiving a wig. It was beautiful and only gave strength to my decision. Anyway, au revoir, my hair. Maybe it will get this long again in 3 years or so. Then we can do this all again!
