Something to Give

Last Saturday, Rachel gave away something she had and had planned to giveaway for a long time...


Her hair...

Have you heard about an organization called Locks of Love?

I told her about them, and what they will use the hair for, several months ago. Ever since then, she has been excited about the idea of giving away her hair.

We found a participating hair salon (and when you donate the hair, the haircut is free!) and went there in the morning. I wasn't sure if she would really go through with this, but she did.


She was very excited.


She looks so cute with her new hair style, but at the same time she looks so much older looking, a small part of me felt a little sad...

She is a very special little girl. Very funny, smart, loving and beautiful. It is my hope that she will keep growing the same way she has been so far, and be a beautiful person inside and out.



Just like she is to me now.
