There have been several people who are close to us who have been battling Cancer and just recently a dear little lady from church, Ms. Dortha, lost her battle. Every week as we went to get an allergy shot, we would stop and visit with Ms. Dortha and Hayley would take a weekly coloring page to her. She looked forward to this every week.
Every night when I put Hayley to bed she always prays for "Spencer's grandma, Ms. Jo" So when she said that she wanted to cut her hair and donate it for Ms. Jo, it brought tears to my eyes. What a self-less thing to do from someone so little. I called and made an appointment for last week since we were on fall break, but Tab was sick so we had to do it today.
After school I picked her up and we headed to the salon. Hayley was SO excited and happy to do this (so was Momma--no more fighting with tangles, fixing it, or washing it) and couldn't wait for it to be done so we could go and show Ms. Jo before church! Words can't begin to express how grateful she was that Hayley did this, even though she will more then likely won't be the one receiving her hair. I told her she would look good brown haired!!
Continue to pray for those who are battling this ugly disease, for a cure and their care-takers.
