Hair

I'm glad I remember the feel of Mom's hair as I brushed it. The top part was longer than the back and then rolled and pinned. Her hair was auburn as a young woman and became salt and pepper in middle age. She did dye it auburn late in her life and asked me which I liked best. I told her I liked the natural look better. I had long hair until I asked her to cut it when I was in 8th grade. She did but then didn't speak to me for two days she was so hurt at the loss of my hair. Now I'm growing my hair to donate in her name. It's longer than it's been since that first cut.
