I know that some people shaved their heads for St Baldrick's or Locks Of Love or did it to support a cancer patient. I would like to hear about those experiences. But I am wondering if any of you have shaved someone else's head for a good cause or to help them in some way.
In my case, there is a man in my church who is about 71. His name is Don and he always gives me a bad time...good naturedly that is!
He has a great shaped head and had the fringe. But it was kept short. So I would gently kid and and tell him that he need to shave his head like me!
Well, he would say to come on over and do it for him. Well, I thought he was kidding, so I didn't give it much thought. But late this spring, he had a stroke. Fortunately, he still has his speach and can walk a little. But it is hard.
So I ended up visiting him and and kidded him about going sly. Well at that point I found out he was serious. So on another visit, I did the deed for him. I have done it a second time since and he has enjoyed the look. It is also doing him a favor as it is hard to go to the barber. So as long as he is able, I will be giving him sly haircuts. Too bad he can't do it himself everyday. But at least he can experience full slyness once in awhile.
Here is a pic of my friend, Don:
