Today’s post is for you, my friends who commented and touched base after yesterdays post. Your care and support means more to me than you can probably understand.
I expected to feel some encouragement, but I honestly anticipated some belittling. For people to kind of hassle me about how its just hair and its not a big deal. Because its true, that it is just hair. And it probably really isn’t a big deal. But WOW, it was hard for me, and the fact that no one made me feel silly was such a relief to my achy heart.
I’m not so shallow to think Wavy isn’t special anymore because we cut her hair, but as you know, we love the long haired kids! And it was such a fun special detail about her! Her curls were SO soft and crazy long for her age! It was really hard for me to see them go. I’m not sure if its better or worse that it was me who shaved her. Probably better. But it wasn’t easy.
Thankfully, my beautiful daughter has a strong sense of character, and had NO shakedown from being a baldy now. She presents her fuzzy head for a rubdown, and carries on.
Its a novelty for her, and it was the healthy choice. I am so grateful to you, friends, for the compliments for Wavy’s new look, and for the support of our decision being the right one. We were confident in it, enough to shave her head, anyway, but it is always a relief to feel like you have people in your corner. I’m not sure what we did to have our corner filled with as many people as we have, but I am grateful for every one of you.
She’s still her 😍
Now, to crochet a mountain of toques for her…
