If someone were to ask you to close your eyes and picture an angel, what do you see? When I am asked to do this, I see someone with blonde, long-flowing, curly hair. Wearing a white vintage dress. Barefooted. How ironic that Gracie seems to fit this description? After photographing her a few times, I've come to know that she is a quiet, humble, yet brave little girl. And what she is soon to do makes her an angel. She plans on cutting off her beautiful locks and donating them to Locks of Love.
What I didn't tell Gracie is that I've often thought of doing that myself. And at summer's end, I just might do it. I know one thing for sure, Gracie is going to make someone's day but giving up her hair (she'll probably pass on a little of her bravery along with it). It'll be interesting to see if Gracie and I both have shorter hair next time we see each other. My money is on that little angel.
Makes me cry every time I read this blog because she is the sweetest angel I have on earth.:) --Gracie's mom
