Summary: "Because the heart beats under a covering of hair, of fur, feathers, or wings, is it, for that reason, to be of no account?"- Jean Paul
A/N: Drabble with 300 words starting after the quote. I couldn't write this and not include Spencer. It's in his POV. How do you like his hair cut from this past season?
Chapter 1: Spencer
"My concern today is not with the length of a person's hair but with his conduct."
– Richard Nixon
It's a beautiful day as Lilli and I walk to the beauty shop. I'm doing something I haven't done before. We walk in and sit. I greet the stylists and when asked what I'm getting I reply,
"A haircut please." When the next chair is available, I get some confusing looks as I walk to it.
"You're getting the haircut?" She asks.
"Yes; hasn't been cut in over ten years and it's about time." She shrugs and asks how short. "Just short of buzz, I guess. Oh, you do participate in the 'Locs of Love' program correct?" She says yes and I smile. My daughter's face is a question.
"Papa, what's 'Locs of Love'?"
"It's a company that provides wigs and hairpieces for people who have lost their hair because of cancer treatments." The stylist begins and my hair falls.
"You're cutting it all off?" Lilli asks.
"Most if it. I hope they get several wigs out of it. Besides, it'll grow back." I watch as Lilli plays with her own long braid. Being bi-racial, her hair has grown to the middle of her back.
"Do they make wigs for kids?"
"Absolutely."
"How many wigs can they make from my hair?"
"Good question. I don't know."
"Papa, may I donate my hair?" The beautician stops cutting and we both look at Lilli.
"Are you sure you want to sweetie?"
"It grows back, right?" I nod. "If you bless someone, blessings come back, right?"
"Excellent! You remembered." I reply.
"Good." She smiles and hops into the now empty chair next to me.
"Not too short, please." I say to the stylist and he nods.
Our hearts are light and we are all smiles. Simon and Daniel are surprised to see Lilli's hair just below her ears and my hair above mine.
