A Labor of Love: Before and After

Well today is the day that Mr. Edwards gets all of his hair cut off. He decided to grow out his hair really long after finding out that his grandmother has breast cancer. He will be donating his hair to Locks of Love. Here is the link if you are not familiar with Locks of Love http://www.locksoflove.org/

Mr. Edwards has always had longish hair for a boy, but he really began growing it out for this purpose 1 year ago. Everyone thinks that he is a girl. He thinks it is funny and rarely corrects anyone. I forgot to tell his new art teacher that he was a boy with long hair. She thought he was a girl for the first three weeks of class and addressed him as such. His good friend could not stand it any longer and finally informed her that Mr. Edwards is a boy.

I for one have absolutely loved his long hair. It will be sorely missed by me, but I think it is wonderful that he has chosen to think of others in need and to do something about it.

Well without any further ado here is Mr. Edward's after picture.
