Over a year ago I started talking to Jayde about donating her hair to Locks of Love. If you don't know what Locks of Love is, it is an organization that collects donated hair and makes wigs for children who have lost their hair due to illness or other causes and who cannot afford to purchase a wig. The children get a new wig free of charge whenever they grow out of the old one until they are 18 years old. Jayde has always had long hair and we thought it would be really neat for her to do something like that. She has been growing her hair out for over a year. In order to donate hair it has to be at least 10 inches long. Well today we cut off 11 inches of hair. Jayde was really nervous before we went into the salon and I thought I would have a hard time, but in a way I am glad to see it go :) No more screaming when I comb her hair and spending countless hours curling her hair just to have it go straight within 2 hours. YAY! So here are some before, during and after pictures. After we cut her hair she said "This is the new me." and "You are not going to see me stop smiling all day!" I am so proud of Jayde for being so sweet and giving. She is such a wonderful girl and I am so proud of her in every way. I am a better person for having her as my daughter. If any of you know Jayde, you know that she has the biggest heart and is such an angel. I am so grateful to have her. I love you baby girl.
