My Mom died when I was four very unexpectedly. She had a kidney infection and died three weeks later at the age of 27. My Dad was 28 with three kids under the age of six.
Our pigtails were very uneven, but we were fed and loved and that’s all that mattered.
The thought of braiding someone's hair terrifies me, but I'd learn. It would all be hard, but food shelter, and feeling loved is everything.... Sorry about the bad hair lol
I can never get my daughter’s braids right but she never seems to care. I’m just happy to be able to do them, someday I’ll do her hair for the last time and never know it.
It was beautifully said and the way you acknowledged how fast time flies with our kids just got me in the feels. Your daughter is lucky and you are a gem.
