Where's My Afro?

I still really can't believe that your hair is gone. We took you to the barber last Saturday for the first time. I was hoping that he could just give you a haircut, but your hair was so matted together that he had to shave it off. It was all I could do to not sit there and cry, but I didn't want to upset you so I didn't. You didn't like the idea of a haircut, but you sat there and let them do it. And once they gave you a sucker you were fine.

I can't get over how much older you look. It is funny because you keeping rubbing your head and asking where your afro is. Sometimes you say you like it because the hair doesn't get in your face but then in the next breath you are asking if it has grown back yet. Funny guy!



It is only hair right? I keep telling myself that it will grow back. Daddy absolutely loves it and wishes I would keep it short. I like your afro because it is so unique and is just so you. I guess only time will tell what happens.
