Beautiful Monday

Life is beautiful... and sometimes we need to be reminded of that! Today a customer came into our store to purchase invitations. We got to talking about the fact that she had been in the store previously, and Stacie, who remembers everyone, could not remember her. She proceeded to say that she thought it might have been because the last time she was in, her hair was down to her knees! Obviously she had just had it cut, so I asked her if she had donated it to Locks of Love (it was quite a lot cut off). She then went on to tell us the most amazing story…..

She sells products for at home parties and had booked a party for a client she had never met. She pulled up to the house and started unloading the car when the hostess started backing out of the garage. “I have to leave to drop my daughter off at the sitter. I will be right back.” As the hostess was explaining this, the daughter, who was in the car turned to see our customer. Suddenly the child jumped out of her car and ran over to our customer. “You’re the Angel! You came here to give me your hair! I knew you’d come! I had a dream last night and an angel told me that someone would come to give me their hair!” (Okay, I was freaking out at this point! It gave me goose bumps to hear it told) As it turns out, the little girl has Alopecia and cannot grow hair on her own. Of course our customer could not turn down the little girl and proceeded to have 32” of hair cut off! That ended up being enough for two wigs! This was not something easily done for our customer. She had had that length of hair her whole life and she said she cried as they sheared it off. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE STORY!!! LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you to everyone who gives of themselves to help others.

Happy Monday!
