Thinking....

I'm feeling a little, I don't know...thoughtful, I guess would be the only way to describe it. MckMama (www.mycharmingkids.net) is talking all month about cancer and donating hats to kids with cancer and also those who have donated their hair to be made into wigs. Well, Maddie and I did that last Summer, it being her first haircut. She donated 11 inches and I donated 10. I think it's been put on my heart to do it again, and since I haven't had a haircut since then (June '08), I'm well on my way. Here are some pictures as a refresher of our cuts...

I've also been thinking a great deal about our former neighbor Janet, who has lost her battle with colon cancer. I knew she wasn't well and about a week and a half ago I found out she was on hospice. Tonight I just found out she died last Saturday and the funeral will be on Thursday. Her and her husband and just sold their house after it being on the market for over a year so they could down size. They have three grown boys, one still in college. I'm hoping Travis and I can make it to the funeral. I've also been hearing about ladies gearing up their walk for a cure teams for next year already and I see the work on the cancer center in town each day. Man, I've just been surrounded by these thoughts. I think that is why I have decided to donate my hair again. Maddie wants her hair cut short again like in the picture above so I said after her school pictures she could get it cut...pictures were Monday and she has an appointment on Saturday. Does anyone want to grow and donate their hair with me?
