Now you see it, soon you won't

2011 has been a bit of a difficult year for us.
My Dad died in April.
He had told me in October 2010 that he was suffering from lung cancer.
I tried and spend a bit of time with him.
Of course we had big hopes that treatment would work and that he could watch his grand daughters grow up.
Somehow through all this, having a hair cut (for me) was the last thing on my mind and my hair grew longer and longer.
I have never had my hair this long. Since June, have I been thinking of having it cut.
Then in July a friend died and shortly afterwards we heard from another friend that his little daughter is suffering from cancer.
I had heard somewhere about the Little Princess Trust and how they have wigs made for little girls and boys.
They need about 10 inches of hair to make a wig. It has taken me a while to get used to the idea of having shoulder length hair.

I have over the years collected a lot of points by buying a certain brand of Shampoo.
I have turned all the points into a voucher for a hair dressing appointment.

Today, I have plucked up the courage and booked an appointment.

THURSDAY is the big hair cutting day.

I have set up a Just Giving page to help the Little Princess Trust.

I am so sorry to hear about your dad passing. It must be very hard for you to deal with so many people in your life dealing with hard health issues. I think it is wonderful that you are donating your hair too. You might be surprised at how much you love shorter hair!
