I was not blessed with luxurious locks. Although my texture has fluctuated over the past few years, getting thicker with each pregnancy, then losing so much of it after my divorce, I have maintained very fine and thin hair. Whether short or long, it looks thin. I take really good care of it, and use special products for maintaining it. I have very little grey, and have learned how to style it to make the most of what I have. Unfortunately, I would NEVER have enough to be able to donate it. My four girls all have mermaid like tresses, that can be coiled up into enviable top knots. As a gift to me over the years they have donated it and I cannot tell you how hard I know it must be to let it go. Sometimes they've gotten emotional and it breaks my heart knowing how I would love to have that much hair and then to see it all fall on the floor must be unnerving. Not in any way as scary as suffering from a debilitating illness like Cancer. I am so proud of their choice. I am so proud I was given the honor of cutting it myself. Sometimes as a parent it all comes together and you realize all your sacrifice and hard work has paid off.
