    Reading this makes me proud to know you, Dutchie. A lovely lady with a lovely soul. Your sacrifice, and it is not a small one, is why I have a cyber crush on you too. I just wish I could have been there to hold your hand.

    You have made an unfortunate child very happy and should feel real good about it. I do.

    That's a very noble cause - I'm glad you were so brave! I'd donate mine someday if I didn't keep dyeing it weird colors (like my infamous pink phase). But seriously, you did a really good deed for someone who will be very grateful.

    Thanks guys. You've made me feel so good about doing it.

    Yes Celia, it now hangs just above my derriere. I can't sit on it as easily so maybe that's a good thing. It used to have a little curl on the ends and now its dead straight.

    I'll try to get before and after pictures and put them up as soon as I can figure out how to do it.

    Hey Lew, I wish you could have been there too.

    Dutchie, That is a great thing you did. What does your husband think?

    LB, My hair seems to be going away by itself for no good reason too.

    As an older woman who is suffering from some severe hair loss as a result of all the stress in my life (previous to now) I have looked into getting a wig - I can't quite decide to go ahead and do it yet but I know it is coming. I have gone into a store once and tried them on and found one I like.

    I know what I am experiencing is nothing like a cancer victim (I had a friend years ago who lost her hair due to chemo) but I do know the self-consciousness that they experience.

    What a blessing you are to give such a gift. I am pleased too that your hair went to a place specifically for cancer patients. I would hate to think your hair went to make another wig for Cher!!! When donating hair for this reason I think people should do exactly what you did - contact the right people.

    My hat is off to you (((Dutchie)))

    Musky, that's a good question because my husband loved my hair. Unfortunately he passed away last year. I think he would have been pleased with what I did He was a very good man.

    Dutchie,

    How thoughtful of you! This kind of "community service" is the best kind. I hope you can imagine the big smile on the face of the recipient!!
