Last week, my 4-year old daughter, Loryn, donated her 12-inch ponytail to Locks of Love. I was impressed and touched by her profound sacrifice of long, lovely, blonde hair that had taken her half her life to grow. But she wasn't. And that was even more impressive.Four year olds have no vanity, no pride, no reservations. After we had discussed donating her hair to Locks of Love and she had seen pictures of the children that would get her hair, she was tickled. With not a moment's pause, she wanted to get it cut. I even tried to talk her out of it, but she was committed. It was a testament to me of a child's pure love and innocence. And, more realistically, a testament to the fact that Loryn is my stubborn and hard-headed child. Hopefully, she will always be able to channel that determination in a positive way as she did with her haircut.
