Cutting Her Hair for Cancer

While this is an old story I thought I would share since we are coming into breast cancer awareness month. This also should have been a clue to me that this little girl of mine was going to be witty, feisty, and one of the most carrying people on the planet.

When Marly was in kindergarden she came home one day and this is what happened. I remember it like it was yesterday becuase she really just touched my heart.

Marly: (Walks out of her classroom) Mommmmmmmeeeee!

Me: Hi, Marly!

Marly: (As she hugs me) Can you take me to cut my hair?

Me: Why?

Marly: Because Heather has cancer and she is going to lose all of her hair. So we can just go cut mine. Then she can put some glue on her head with her glue stick and put my hair on her head.

Me: Well we can get your hair cut but it's going to be kinda short.

Marly: Well can they just cut all of my hair off and then me and Heather will match?

Me: Well we can go see if you have enough to give to her.

We drove straight from school to super cuts and she cut her hair off. She looked so darn cute and we donated her hair.
