Still the light of my life. Sweet. Modest. Thoughtful. Generous. Overly sensitive for her own good.
Yesterday: a real crisis she never anticipated. a disastrous haircut.
She’s always had long hair, without change, other than trimming, length, one year it was thinned. She has thick hair, thinning didn’t change appearance, but lightened the load for her. She’s practical, and works like a farmhand with horses. She doesn’t think about her hair, no makeup, etc. Very feminine, not a tomboy.
Starting place:
There is no explanation for what happened. From pictures, i believe she now has a Farrah Fawcett cut.
Is that still a cut?? ok for adult FF, but this child is not a FF. she was in tears. trying to hold back.
of course she’s beautiful, of course it will grow out. how could the stylist get it so wrong?!
i have memories to share with her. i was about her age, a little older, when i went to a shop (on my own) to get a cut (not my mother). i was happy, a milestone. so grownup.
^^i left the shop with something like this, replace the smiling face with anguished tears, i got on my bicycle and headed home, not able to see very well through the tears. i might have been 18. a young 18.
brushing out that mess was a challenge. sweet pea, i feel your pain.
Our neighboring church family has white adopted children, and this 5 year old has white adopted cousins too.
