This has been a long time coming and after lots of crying during hair brushing and talking about it, Addie asked that she get her hair cut. She and I have spent a good amount of time talking about kids with cancer who don't have any of their own hair and how we could give her cut hair to them. She really wanted to do that.
Soooo proud of herself. When she looked in the mirror for the first time, she said, like only my Addie could, "This is the real me. I was hiding behind my old hair."
I can't explain the sense of pride I feel for having Addie be my daughter on days like today. She's so generous and has a wonderful sense of wanting to help others. She just made my day.
And I can't even begin to explain how easy her new hair is to manage!! She took a bath tonight, washed her hair, I brushed it in 8 strokes and blew it dry. Easy peasy!
