Locks Of Love: A Short Story
As I was sitting in Mrs. Cynthia Rosen’s office, she asks me “Why do you want to donate your hair?” I am excited to tell her that I am donating my hair in memory of Mrs. Price to the “Locks of Love”. She had cancer and due to that she died. The feelings this incident gave me when I lost her was miserable. I couldn’t do anything for a long time after losing her until I thought of this idea.
“I am sorry to hear that Marguerite” she said in a low voice.
“I can never forget how kindly she combed my hair and always treated me with respect.” I repeated again and again.
“Wow, great” Cynthia replies, saying she might have been really close to you due to which I was donating my hair.
“Yes, she was like my mother to me” I replied back to her. She was the best and filled my childhood with love, and affection.
“I can understand you,” she replies with tears coming out of her eyes.

Price had seen such as big cities, towering skyscrapers, wide rivers, and best of all, amusement parks bigger than the town we lived in.

Mrs. Price helped others and, now, I am doing the part to help. She lived a beautiful life and made me enjoy with her. She was generous, hard-working, and light-hearted. She made me stay in her home and always say when she got sick that “I was better than any medicine”.
She rewarded me with shaky smiles, soft murmurs, and gentle caresses of her feeble hands, hands that still combed my hair each morning. Losing her left a deep black hole in my heart, but I found the way to donate my hair for the children who have lost their hair because of diseases. This will make me feel more relaxed and a wonderful memory of how Mrs. Price filled my childhood with love.
“I really appreciate your kindness and hope you have a fabulous day,” she said after I donate my

    the first time I saw my grandmother braid her hair, I was instantly astonished. The way she maneuvered her hands as she glided the hair between each finger, overlapping each strand of hair onto the next, was so delicate and precise. The finished braid dangled down her back, reaching all the way to her waistline, it reminisced that of a princess, from the storybooks I had seen. I knew only after moments of watching her, this was something I had to accomplish; easier said than done.…

    The author says of her mother: “but, in my lifetime, she never washed her hair with her own two hands” (p. 49) When we read about the perfection with which her hair was done and her weekly trips to the salon, we can see a woman who is conscious of her social standing, strives for acceptance and wants to live through the revitalization of her hair. The hair styles which resulted “bore the stamp of property”, were “constructed” and looked like “a museum piece” (p. 51). She is immensely dissatisfied and wants some sort of adventure but that seems only feasible for her hair. The character development of her mother from a “soft and unformed” woman in her unmarried years who may have washed her own hair then to one who conformed to some unwritten set of laws “in my mother’s circle at least… to never handle their own hair” (p. 51).…

    Laurie Noe is one of the kindest, most genuine, and selfless people I have the honor of knowing. Laurie is a family friend and was my babysitter when I was young. We are not very similar; she is about thirty years older than me, she resides in a lower socioeconomic status, and she lives her life in nonconformist fashion. Nonetheless, I strive to one day become like her; to inspire others around me as she has me. Laurie is the person who always has her door open, an extra plate of dinner, an extra bed, and an ear to listen. Her house is always chaotic – with her four biological children, her six adopted children, and with every lost animal in the city running around. Laurie has always taken care of others. When Laurie’s friend passed away, she…
