it's just hair... right??

For the last 3 months I have been contemplating about cutting my hair... I somehow came across this blog about this little girl who is battling a brain tumor... everyday I read the desperate cries of her mother.... and I feel her pain and fear... well I have a soft spot for those with diseases and and I always try to do my share of helping out... not only are you helping but you feel so good helping... so it is a win win situation.... So anyways back to the point... so I have thought long and hard about it and I finally got the nerve to just do it... I have been approached before to donate it to locks of love... but just couldn't part with my hair.. it was who am, it was a big part of me.. I was the girl " with the really long pretty hair" and I didn't want to let go of my " identity" so to speak... well recently I haven't had any doubts... except the fact that I have really thick hair.. so short+thick equals very puffy... well I finally set the appointment... and thought if I change my mind then I will cancel..So I got up today like any other.... and read that blog about the little girl.. and the mom blogged about how they shaved their little girls hair today... and how she misses her 5 year old's beautiful blond locks... and at that point I was ready to do it.... 3 1/2 hours later and 11 inches gone... I feel great...!! and have no regrets.... although I will never know who will receive my hair... It will feel good to know that somebody will be walking around feeling good about there self... and I was apart if it.... here are some pics of my lil journey.... =)
