Easton, Michelle and I were walking in the local mall on Saturday. I stop at the wig store (yes, we have a wig store in our mall, go figure!) and began looking at wigs. Easton picks one out and says “This looks so much like your natural hair and cut, mom!” I was wearing my old wig because I am growing out (ever so slowly) my hair. She often comments that the wig just doesnt look like “me”. It is too dark and has absolutely no highlights. The cut is okay, but she is right.. It didn’t look like me.
I put it on, and she smiles ear to ear.
I had told the sales woman before that I was just looking and if I found a wig that I couldnt live without, I would be back on Monday with my Check Card.
Guess what my daughter did..
She used her own Christmas money and bought it for me! She knew that I was getting pretty insecure growing my hair out, and wanted me to feel like my old self again in the process..
I will cherish that exchange for the rest of my life…
“A daughter is the happy memories of the past,
the joyful moments of the present,
and the hope and promise of the future.”
awww!!! So precious. She’s right though it looks really stunning!
((hugs))
Thanks for twittering this:)!

Tears to my eyes! That is a good wig for you, I like it. I think your hair might have been a little longer when you were here, but it is definately the same style.

Heather, That is so precious, and I have to agree, the wig looks absolutely fantastic on you. I have now gotten so used to not having any hair now and so have my friends and work colleagues. We are about to enter what is forecast to be a very long unusually hot Summer so I think I’ll stick to being without for now and just wear a cap to prtect from Sunburn.
Easton is becoming such a mature young lady, it is wonderful to watch her grow up like this.
Take Care and keep us up to date with your re-growth.
Lots of Love Carolynn xxxx
I love it!! And the cut is awesome! It looks so natural, Heather, it really is lovely. And Easton is a gem.
Too cute!! What a sweetheart you’ve been blessed with.

Isn’t it amazing how our sweet daughters come through right at the right moment> We worry so much as to how our health things will affect them, and Boom.
What a sweet, sweet thing for her to do. And, she’s right. It’s SO you.
I tried to call but the number i Have no longer works. If you’ll send me your new number, and some good times during the day to call this week, I’ll try to touch base with you.
I miss the sound of your voice. :dizzy:
Alot.
That is so dear……..and you look great in that wig. It’s hard to believe it’s a wig.
I have an 11 year old daughter, and I am so thankful for her. Daughters do have a special relationship with their moms. Easton has a heart of gold.
What an amazing daughter you have! And the wig looks AWESOME on you! Very natural! =)
You are both beautiful!!!!!! Inside and out.
I love it!
What a sweet daughter you have.
What a sweet girl! It looks great on you.
What a precious daughter! :cheerful: And…you look beautiful!!!
Dear Heather,
Aaaawww! That is so sweet! What a beautiful, selfless thing for her to do. That just warms my mommy heart to hear! Kids are so tender-hearted and they sometimes understand us so well when we don’t even realize it. Oh, it made me teary-eyed to read that! And, you look fabulous! Doesn’t even look like a wig, how did manage to pull that off? I’d look horrible (: Take care Heather!
Molly (:
Easton has a great eye for beauty
