That I don't like to cut my hair while Phillip is gone. I mean, I trim and shape it up when it's needed, but as for the length, I don't cut any off.
And here's why:
My hair grows at an incredibly slow rate. And while Phillip is gone, time goes by at an incredibly slow rate. So, by not cutting my hair, I can look in the mirror and physically SEE how much time has gone by.
It's not something I planned. I didn't cut any length off on the first deployment either. I just have no desire to do it; it's almost like I'm cutting off and making major changes to something that BELONGS to US. Get it? I know it's kind of deep thinking, but...
So the same hair that's there when's he gone, is the same hair that he will come home to.
I do it all in the name of LOVE.
(Now where did I put the phone number to my therapist?)

I think it makes a lot of sense. With me, it wasn't so much about myself but with OUR furniture. I wanted something that was constant that reminded me of him. So, when my husband was deployed, there were two things I didn't move around...HIS chair and OUR bed. I'd have to think hard when rearranging things to fit around those two, but it always worked out. Weird, right? Anything for love! LOL
I guess I lack reminders like that.... or maybe I just haven't discovered mine yet....
Have you been taking your meds...lol!
Yes, the number is 555-you-r-normal. I always keep my hair my natural color when Ryan is gone. I know he likes it that color so I keep it. Who knows why! The crazy things we do, haha.
I think that is very sweet. However, I may be in the need of meds as well. I am avoiding them with all I have because I have an issue when being weaned but when not cutting you hair has a reference to a period of time and no change. Well...maybe I need to rethink it. hahaha
It just sounds very intimate actually and I find that sweet.
Men always say they like long hair anyway, so why cut it? K measures hair by the number of "twists". Uh...yeah, you get the picture? hahaha
