Hair Care
Getting ready for church one morning, my granddaughter asked me why I always had shiny eyes when I fixed her hair. I asked her what she meant and she said I had this far away look in my eyes when we did hair care together. Smiling, I knew just what she meant.
I told her the story of how when her aunt was little I used to fix her hair but as she grew to be a teenager she did her own more and more and even wanted to do mine. Hair care was a time of bonding and just being together without anyone else around. Every time I do my granddaughter's hair, it takes me back to that special time.
My daughter goes to college halfway across the country now and I miss her. I am thrilled she is having new life experiences but there are times I miss her so much and hair care is usually one of the first to take me down memory lane.
I asked my granddaughter if she wanted to help me order some hair care products online and we shipped them to her aunt. I have the feeling when she opens them, they will take her down memory lane as well.
