forty-two

This goes out to 2 women.
We were girls in 1997, well young ladies...
And, you both encouraged me to embrace the wild curls that were taking over my head; and I wasn't handling it well. I did everything I could that summer to reign them in, tie them down, headband them back....spray, gel, anything...

It took a while, but I listened and learned to love them.
I dubbed this summer the "crazy, Amazon hair summer," because they erupted and cascaded over my shoulders and down my back; and I had finally learned to accept and appreciate the genes that made it so-

Thank you for helping me learn to love myself.
I love you and your sweet encouragement to move beyond the typical.
