Julie's Locks Of Love
They came for Julie’s hair yesterday.
Hospice workers Raiza and Cassandra were assisted by family friend Paula Murray, Julie’s dad and me to help prepare Julie’s long brown tresses to be donated to the Locks of Love organization. Julie was weak but gamely participated and, of course, clowned around and kept everyone’s spirits up.

The hair cutting went well enough. We’ll be sending 4 braids about 1½” in diameter and almost 40” long to the Locks of Love people. They cut her hair at a little above shoulder length, enough to frame her face so she doesn’t look all that different. Julie’s dad asked for a small braid as a keepsake and it was a good thing he did; hadn’t thought about it but, on reflection, wanted one for myself.
