I just got back from the hospital where I cut a 10 year old girl's hair. She just started chemo and wanted to cut it short before it all falls out. I was so nervous before I got there-- unsure of what I would find to work with. But when I got there I was so overwhelmed with love. Her dad was there taking care of her and he was the sweetest man I think I've ever met. He was so sensitive to his little girl. He had been calling around all day trying to find a salon that would come in and cut her hair. He had talked her through everything. He had even painted her nails for her. (That is what got me the most!)
I just kept telling her how brave and beautiful she was. She really was so brave! I thought I would have to cut through the tears, but she was smiling and completely calm with everything that was going on. I was so impressed by her strength.
She gave me a huge hug when I left and I gave them my number so that they can call me when they are back at the hospital and I can come see her.
I feel so blessed to have had this experience. It really was so touching.
