I sat in the corner while emilys long hair got its first cut in 4 years. A migraine hangover had me blind under my hat. I looked up after the blow dry, and it was 1987. I was looking in a mirror after a Fantastic Sams haircut.
The words were the same,
"oh, sweetie, you look so beautiful and grown up"
To speak the words this time instead of hearing them stopped my heart.
I can't make the words right, but it was like Emily became her own person, in my eyes, at that moment.
And she is so beautiful and breathtaking!
