Hairs

Everybody in our family has different hair. My papa’s hair is short. He doesn’t have much, but it suits him. And me, my hair is long and straight. Not a curl if I try. Just straight down past my shoulders. Jeff’s hair is great. It is thick and soft. It has body and can be shaped. Very different from my dad’s hair now, but it was once the same.

But my mother’s hair, my mother’s, well it’s not really hair. She has cancer so she lost it all. It’s growing back, though, and so soft. Like fur. Fuzzy. Soft to touch and soft to the face when she’s holding you and you feel safe, it is the warm smell of a baby, it is the smell of comfort when you cuddle up next to her, and she tickles your back letting you know she loves you. All your worries and troubles disappear when she holds you. When I rub her head it is like rubbing a magic lamp. I wish for her to be happy and healthy, and for all her beautiful hair to come back to protect and keep her head warm the way she protects and keeps me warm. That’s Mama’s hair, like a baby. Soft and warm like her heart.
