Cutting My Hair For My Daughter

As you may or may not know my daughter has won her battle and has beat cancer. She is now finished her chemotherapy, but still alot of tests and one last surgery to go.

Most people when they know of someone who is fighting cancer they shave their hair off. Really, completely, I wholeheartedly wanted to do this for my daughter.

Her exact words to me was, “No, Mom please don’t.” in her cute teenager voice.

So I compromised with her and told her she couldn’t stop me from cutting it short. I grew it long for over 4 years now and it was time to shed the locks.
