\u201cYou\u2019d look younger with a shorter cut.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cLong hair is for young women.\u201d\u201cIsn\u2019t it a hassle to maintain at your age?\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

I hear it all the time. I\u2019m in my 60s, and my hair is long\u2014down past my waist. It\u2019s a soft blonde-white now, like winter sunlight. And no, I don\u2019t cut it. Not because I\u2019m stubborn. Not because I\u2019m trying to cling to youth.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But because of him.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Most people assume I just don\u2019t like change. If they only knew.<\/p>\n

Every morning, when I brush through the strands, I remember his fingers running through it. When the wind catches it, I remember him laughing, calling me his \u201cwildflower.\u201d He used to love my hair\u2014said it made me look like something out of a dream. And then one day, just like that, he was gone.<\/p>\n

Cancer doesn\u2019t care about promises or future plans. It took him fast, too fast. And I made a decision, standing beside his hospital bed, his hand limp in mine\u2014I wouldn\u2019t cut my hair. Not until I was ready to let go.<\/p>\n

So no, I won\u2019t cut it. Not yet.<\/p>\n

And when people tell me I should, I just smile. Because they have no idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
