Oh, my goodness what a sweet thought.
That reminds me, I had my “first” hair cut even before I was born. My mom has that lock of hair from my head, the doc cut just as I was crowning.
I wish I had a photo of that.

Good choice! People used to do that, carry locks of hair of their loved ones.

Great photos for the theme. I’m sure my husband wouldn’t keep a lock of my hair.

I found a lock of hair and a rose pressed into our family bible, but don’t know who they belonged to. In another spot there was a love poem by my great grandfather to my great grandmother. Finds like those make your ancestors real to you.

Your Mom was so beautiful, and your Dad must have loved her a lot. Thanks for sharing these beautiful memories with us.

Drop by my lair
to see my hair,
With time to spare,
others will be there.

Gosh, photos were so much more classy in those days.

Gawilli, if you’d be so kind as to email me at taoandzen [at] shaw.ca with your address, I’d love to send you something in the snail mail system.
