Shaving Their Heads For A Classmate

My oldest son came home the other day, asking to shave his head. Shave his head? Turns out, a friend of his in school had a relapse after a first bout with leukemia. He has to do another round of chemotherapy with the resulting hair loss. So, some of the kids in the school decided they’d lose their hair to, as a way to support him. I think about 30 to 40 kids have now done it, yep, mine too. The Daily Pilot ran a short story on it this weekend.

Special kids - all of them. May they keep that generosity of spirit and compassion as they grow up.
