Today’s Blog Post
As we pulled into the driveway I couldn’t wait to see what our granddaughter looked like. Could I handle the transformation?
Walking inside the house I was shocked to see her. Oh my goodness! My granddaughter had grown up completely – over night! There she was with her new haircut… all the long hair was gone. The little girl with the long blonde hair had left us and now sitting there was a beautiful young lady with a very sharp new style to show off at school today.
Now most grandpas may not have noticed their granddaughter’s new hair style… but this one does! He sees everything.
Now I should mention here that it is not just any haircut, but rather a special haircut that was planned two years ago.
Emma had attended a school and community function that had presented the students with information about Cancer and its affects on its victims. Emma listened closely and was deeply moved with what she heard. It was sometime during that presentation or shortly thereafter that she decided to have her hair grow long… so that she could also have it cut off to help some one surviving cancer.
Emma had 14 inches cut off yesterday to help make someone a new wig.
Emma just didn’t grow up with the new haircut… but rather with a very adult decision to donate her beautiful hair to help people with Cancer and the affects that take place after treatment.
But being almost a teenager she didn’t do this alone. Her friend Kaelynn went with her to the Hair Salon. They did it together.
Rachel Lyons, the beautiful young hairdresser at the Salon, cut and styled the girl’s hair.
It takes an adult view of life to be aware of your community. Kaelynn and Emma connected with their community and have now invested in someone’s life. It is at that moment that the girls have moved away from just being little girls and have now taken huge steps into the very adult world of knowing that you can help others in need.
Emma donated her hair to Angel Hair at http://www.acvf.ca/index.php/our-programs/angel-hair-for-kids/
Kaelynn donated her hair to Canadian Cancer Society - Beautiful Lengths – Pantene at http://www.cancer.ca/newfoundland-labrador/support%20services/hair%20donations.aspx
I give more than THREE CHEERS today for Emma and Kaelynn. You girls are amazing!
Thank you for making someone else’s life better by your beautiful gift of hair.
Emma and Kaelynn – You ROCK! And you are my HEROES!
