Been growing my hair out for over a year. It was down past the middle of my back. It's funny. I've heard rumors going around in my church about me that I am on drugs because I let my hair grow out.

Truth is, I decided a long time ago to do something I have never done and it was a hard decision. Both mama and daddy succombed to cancer. We watched mama slowly whither away for seven antagonizing years.

Daddy was fortunate. He was gone almost thirty days to the day he was diagnosed. I don't think he ever felt any pain.

Mama died in 84 and daddy in 98. Unlike a lot of people who run out and do the Relay for Life and this and that, I went the other way. I shut down. I didn't want to have anything to do with any charity regarding cancer. I wanted nothing to do with any of it.

I have been growing my hair out to donate to the Macon chapter of Locks of Love. I gotta big chunk to give them. I didn't do it to make myself feel good. I think I did it to sorta get over something I never got over. Not losing my parents. But all the hatred I have felt because something happened to the two least deserving people in the world and it flippin sucked.

With everything we got goin on right now......somehow it did help a little.
 
Thats a great story! Why is it that bad things usually seem to happen to good people? That was a great thing you did, and someone will really appreciate your gift!
 
When Kitty gets home, I'll get her to take one.
 
Good deed Rob and I am sure it will come back to you.
I lost my dad in 1993 and blessed to still have my Mom...Just lost my best friend Jake to cancer this year!...Sometimes God's plan for us makes no sense.
 
Rob, My wife Sue is a brain cancer survivor, 10 yrs now.. She lost a lot of her hair during direct radiation on the tumor location.Thing is, they told her it would grow back. Never did. Not to hijack your thread, but I love her just as much without all the hair in place. Just blessed that she's still here. There's gonna be some people who really need that hair you took off for wigs and such down the road. Great thing for ya to do. Hope things get better for Kitty and you.
 
:wav:Kudos to you Rob! My sister in law is going through radiation treatments on her head right now and has lost about 70 percent of her scalp. After treatment she will have surgury to replace her scalp.
It's nice to know that there are folks doing things like what you have done to benefit people like her.:wav:
 
See, not all you long haired druggies are bad guys! Lol!

Seriously, that's a very generous & thoughtful thing you did! I hope you find your peace in it. I'm sure your parents are looking down & are very proud of you!
 
Here ya go.
