"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

out of the mouths of babes
« on: 2012-06-07, 12:44:11 »
So my daughter wanted to get her hair trimmed last year... then she decided she wanted to cut it. She talked to some friends of hers and decided she would wait a whole year to cut her hair for Locks of Love (Cancer wig maker for children etc)

welp she did it. with a gleeful heart and a proud 11 to 12 inches off the ends she cut her hair and mailed it to help other children.  I am getting used to the short hair but am very very proud of my lil girl and her kind heart. :) She was a little nervous but is happy with the hair cut but more happy with where the hair is going. She even wanted to write a letter to the kids to wish them well and to get better.

here are the before and after pictures:

Wow, what a wonderful young lady.   :) :'(

Her selfless gift will be cherished by a little girl in need.

It may have been her idea, but do not forget that it was you and your beloved that shaped and guided her into the young lady she is today.

My Mom and my sister both donate their hair to the same, or similar charities.  How did your little girl hear about it?  I think its wonderful- but even moreso that she has the approval of her parents, looks good on you guys.

This is an exceptionally noble thing she has done, and you should be proud both of her character, and of your parenting. You've obviously done an excellent job. ^_^

It did kinda trigger a less positive thought though: http://modernchivalry.org/forum/index.php/topic,2079.0.html
