Hair Donation

Marsi first donated her hair on her 3rd birthday.  Her hair grows like mine which means about 2 years between donations.  This donation will be different.  We will be doing it "in memory" of a special cancer fighter that is barely younger than her.  On the 3rd, this sweet girl was given about 6 months left and mom and dad made the decision to not make her go through horrendous surgeries and to just make the time she has left on this Earth as joyous as possible. I went to school with Mom.  We were never friends, but at a school as small as mine, you knew everyone.

So, I made the promise that when we hear of this little girl's passing, Marsi will donate her hair.  That means that if it is tomorrow, we go on Saturday and give her a pixie cut.  Or if it is in several months, her hair might be long enough to not have a pixie cut.

I get to keep my daughter when they will lose theirs.  The least we can do is give of my favorite physical part of Marsi to make a beautiful red haired wig (along with several other donors of course) for another child.

This will be our first donation to Wigs for Kids.  I found a salon to do it for just the price of the tip.  I hope and pray that it will be quite a while before we make the donation.  It would mean that special family gets that much more precious time before saying goodbye for now.

I am grateful for my testimony of Heaven.
