Day 4:
Cutting her hair

November 2025

While cutting my hair, I began to reflect on the many times I used to cut hers. 

​

She loved when I cut her hair. She’d go on and on about how much she hated Supercuts and come up with excuses for why no one else could possibly do it.

I always thought that was just her way of asking to spend more time with me—but I’ve now realized that sometimes she just knew that we both really needed that time together.

She’d tell me her stories while I hyper-focused, and then I’d update her on life as she drifted into a meditative trance, grounding us both in a moment of simple joy and peace.
