A Special Haircut

The Story behind the haircut! There is a family in our ward that is going thru Mom having breast cancer. She has four cute boys, the youngest being 7. To be honest, Trenton really does not know them that well, just knows the youngest from Primary. Two weeks ago all the boys, including Dad came to church with their head shaved. Their family and extended family had a party the night before showing Mom their support in which the boys shaved their heads, they painted finger and toe nails pink, dyed hair pink, etc. When Trenton saw all the boys at church with shaved heads he asked why they had done it....he was not sure of the look. So, I explained to him what was going on and that they did it because Mom was going to be bald soon too. I told him that the youngest was not sure about his new do, so it was not nice to stare. He then looked at me and said he wanted to shave his head too so the youngest would not feel bad. He wanted to be bald just like that family. To tell the truth, I was not totally crazy about the idea. I love my baby with his blond locks....but who am I to take this experience away from him? I told him to think about it during church, and if he was sure he wanted to do it, we would shave his head when we got home. After some butterflies in his tummy he decided to do it! Afterwards we went to show the family our support! I had the honors of the cut, thru a little bit of tears, I shaved my baby's head as he taught me such an important lesson....to love everyone!
