My girl

 

My girl.  My girl, Daughter, is 11 years old and has done Locks of Love TWICE.  Meaning she has donated  a LOT of hair twice.  Grew it to donate. Cut it to donate.  Intentionally.  Two times. I never have.  I give blood.  Similar but not the same.

This time it went really really short.  I dropped her off at the salon, pre-paid and told her she could do whatever she wanted.  She chose a "pixie" or "boy" cut. 

I have no idea why an 11 year old girl would choose to look just like her brother, but I LOVE that she did. I LOVE her confidence, her swagger, her happy smile at her new do.  I love that it shows off her shaggy eyebrows.  I love that she is giving another kid the self confidence of cute hair.    Just love it.  All of it.

I am so proud of her.  She is more woman at 11 than I ever was (and I was a lotta' woman).  She will continue be a true gift to this world.  And I am SO thankful for her quirky quirk self. And proud of my girl.

Love you babe,.
