WAY TO GO EMILY.....so proud of you!!!!!!

this day has been planned for quite awhile!!!! Emily wanted to donate her LONG hair to have a wig made for KIDS WITH CANCER. Even though you are not totally happy with your SHORT hair, just think of what a GREAT thing you have done, and remember your hair will grow back. ((((hugs to you)))) I am so proud of you, and you should be proud of yourself!

last shot of Emily's LONG HAIR!!!!!

going, going gone!!!!!

The new girl............a huge change for a 10 year old, especially when she has had LONG hair ALL of her life!

The 9 inches of hair that is required to make a donation for a wig.

Emily I know you will be reading this so I want to tell you a little story(which I don't think you have heard). When I was a teenager(a long time ago), I babysat this little girl that was 8 years old.....she got cancer. When she was having her treatments all of her hair fell out, and her parents got her a wig. The little girl was VERY excited, she loved it! She was to young to understand how sick she was, and that it wasn't a GOOD thing to have to wear a wig, she thought it was COOL, and FUN, it made her smile! Although this story does not have a happy ending I always remember how happy she was when she got her wig. NOW when I think of a child with cancer that has lost their hair, I will ALWAYS think of the THOUGHTFUL thing YOU did for KIDS WITH CANCER.

oh, and by the way, I LOVE YOUR NEW DOO!!!!!!!
