...yeah I know these aren't the best photos...its always hard for me to give up my camera...and this is the reason why...but at least I have something to document this day.
Yesterday I had 13 inches of my hair cut off...and I didn't do it just because I needed a change...I was perfectly happy with my hair...it had taken me 4 years to grow it out...
These days it seems like cancer just surrounds me and though I have my health...the feeling of hopelessness I have felt has caused me a tremendous amount of sadness...so I decided to donate my hair to {Locks of Love}. I am happy to know that my hair is going to make a child very happy! But I also know that I am supporting the ones I love who are fighting this terrible disease CANCER. I can't take away their pain, or how sick they are feeling, I can't give them the energy they need to do the basic everyday things or the things they love to do - but I really hope these people know how much they mean to me and if I could do anything and I mean anything I would do it!

Girlie, you look amazing with your short hair! I'm so happy that you did this! You are one amazing sweetie and they are gonna LOVE your hair! I'm doing the same thing actually! I've been growing it out since last August. It takes 2 years to grow, so I have 1.5 years left, but I'm sure I'll ride it out through the frustration stages! LOL...Love the new look!
Well you hair looks wonderful short.. I know how you feel.. my brother has suffered alot with his cancer and HIV that brought the cancer on.. It brings tears to my eyes to know that so many suffer from this.. You are doing a wonderful thing here.. We all have to do our best to find a cure.. mine is going to be walking in June.. with alot of other supporters for 12 hours!! Ever little bit helps. You are always in my prayers. Xx
Aww!!! Good for you! My girls and I have done this. Meg, my oldest, is growing hers out again. I'm actually trying to get my son to do it. He could easily cut off a good 20" and still donate again!
You look adorable in both shots.
You are so beautiful!
What a wonderful, generous gesture on your part. I, too, have a very good friend going through cancer treatments again. I will keep your friends and family in my prayers. BTW, you look great with your new hair do!!

That is so sweet of you to donate. i've wanted to donate to LOL for quite some time, but my hair just doesn't grow that fast. :(
