Hair
February 23, 2022
Sometimes hair is brown as afternoon sunshine, or cinnamon rolls for breakfast, long and straight and beautiful like it belongs to a princess. Sometimes it's sleek, dark, and free as a black stallion. Sometimes you get lucky and curly with wild ringlets.
I ended up blonde, which is fine I guess. More canvas for creativity, I pretend. More space for colors, no need for bleach. But blonde was Momma’s color and it feels wrong for it to be mine, too.
I wonder if they have hair salons in heaven.

@Afra- thank you so much!
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old things have passed away.
