The next morning, the principal called me in a panic: \u201cCome to the school IMMEDIATELY! You won\u2019t believe what happened!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just three months ago, my husband passed away from cancer. Our daughter, Letty, was devastated.<\/p>\n<p>One evening, she stayed in the bathroom much longer than usual.<\/p>\n<div class=\"b-r b-r--after_p_1\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cHoney, can I come in?\u201d I asked, knocking on the door.<\/p>\n<p>But the door opened right away.<\/p>\n<p>I noticed long blonde strands scattered across the floor.<\/p>\n<p>My beautiful daughter, who had always had long hair, stood in front of the mirror with her hair cut to shoulder length.<\/p>\n<p>The haircut was uneven, clearly done in a hurry.<\/p>\n<p>Her hands were trembling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLetty\u2026 what have you done?\u201d I whispered.<\/p>\n<p>She looked up at me, her lips quivering, and replied:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a girl in my class named Millie. She has cancer. Today, everyone noticed she had lost all her hair. Some boys made fun of her. She went to cry in the bathroom, Mom\u2026 and I couldn\u2019t stand seeing her like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Letty swallowed hard and showed me her hair, carefully tied together with a ribbon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI read that wigs can be made from real hair. I know mine won\u2019t be enough on their own\u2026 but maybe they can still help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Letty\u2019s father had gone through the same ordeal. During his treatment, he had to shave his head, and Letty had never forgotten it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"grow-me-inline-subscribe-cta-root-0\" class=\"inline-subscribe\" data-testid=\"inline-subscribe-cta-0\" data-within-recipe=\"false\" data-inline-subscribe-cta=\"true\">\n<div data-nosnippet=\"true\">\n<div class=\"ShadowDomContainer___StyledDiv-paiu0k-0\">\n<div class=\"sc-fFlnrN coymWH test\">\n<div class=\"SpotlightSubscribeForm___StyledDiv3-sc-156rk68-0 jjFXYJ\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"sc-ejfMa-d gGHZal\" data-testid=\"inline-subscribe\">\n<div class=\"sc-gfoqjT hFyE\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"sc-kbousE pKhqN\">\n<h3 class=\"sc-sLsrZ fgOvne\">Subscribe to nnmez!<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"sc-dBmzty fgZREB\">Get updates on the latest posts and more from nnmez straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-gdyeKB dKOAMX\">\n<form>\n<div class=\"sc-kzqdkY dSqrnb\"><input class=\"sc-dlWCHZ jDqPei\" tabindex=\"-1\" autocomplete=\"off\" name=\"website\" type=\"text\" placeholder=\"Website\" aria-label=\"Do not fill out this field\" data-testid=\"honeypot\" data-sharkid=\"__0\" \/><input class=\"sc-hHOBiw iVhMEe\" title=\"Please enter a valid email\" autocomplete=\"email\" pattern=\"^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&amp;'*+\\\/=?^_&#96;\\{\\|\\}~\\-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9\\-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?(?:\\.[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9\\-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?)+$\" required=\"\" type=\"email\" placeholder=\"Your Email...\" aria-label=\"Your Email...\" data-sharkid=\"__1\" data-sharklabel=\"email\" \/><button class=\"sc-aXZVg sc-bDpDS jRfufW eHWsun\" type=\"submit\" aria-label=\"Subscribe\"><span class=\"SubscribeCtaWidget___StyledSpan3-xaybyu-0 drwpGE\">Subscribe<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<p><span class=\"sc-EgOXT jmrdfb\">We use your personal data for interest-based advertising, as outlined in our\u00a0<a class=\"sc-gEvEer buEjFZ\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/legal-and-privacy-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Privacy Notice<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I wrapped my arms around her and held her so tightly she could barely breathe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour father would be so proud of you,\u201d I whispered.<\/p>\n<p>That evening, we took her hair to a specialized salon so it could be turned into a wig.<\/p>\n<p>When Letty gave the finished wig to Millie at school, she was glowing with happiness.
