Beautiful Lengths

When Sylvia was a toddler and preschooler, she twirled her hair around her fingers and broke off big chunks of it at the roots every day.  We always had to have her hair cut short.  For the past couple years she has relished growing it out and having it long.  She loves to have it in braids and to wear it down her back.  Her long hair is a great treasure to her.

It is at her waist; it's so long!

Recently, another precious relative of ours has been diagnosed with cancer, and is currently undergoing chemotherapy and losing her hair.  We have been praying for her, and talking with the kids again about the difficult journey that is cancer, and our many loved ones who have fought it.  

Sylvia was inspired to give her hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths in honor of our aunt, and so happy to do it.  She had 8" cut off this evening, and feels so good that it will help a woman going through chemotherapy to have a wig to help her feel better.

Annah didn't have enough length to donate, but needed a few inches cut off for the health of her hair.  So she has a new back-to-school 'do too.
