Monday a dear, wonderful woman, our friend Christy Bailey, came over to give Catelynn the best gift ever!
Christy is a hair stylist and has been for 32 years--she's very experienced and good at what she does. Her family has quite the legacy for doing hair; her mother, her sisters--one of whom owns and runs a beauty school, her daughters, AND her daughters-in-law...hair is what they know!
Catelynn doesn't have plain ol' average "Utah" hair because she's not a plain ol' white girl...she's beautiful and has amazing ethnic hair given to her through her Samoan bloodline. Blessedly for us, Christy is one of the few “white people” (as she puts it) who can do ethnic hair…boy did she spend a pretty penny in order to learn, too!
I couldn’t have had more confidence in a person touching her hair. Christy has the knowledge and she had the concern and desire to gift Catelynn with what she’s been wanting for a VERY long time—STRAIGHT HAIR.
One hour and a few minutes after Christy and her daughter started working on Catelynn’s hair we had an amazing change standing in my kitchen…it was heart-stopping. I took one look at our beautiful Catelynn and tears came to my eyes…there standing before me was one of the most alluringly beautiful young women I’ve seen…she was simply STUNNING!
Catelynn was in awe when she finally got to see herself…she gasped, her eyes brightened, and a smile spread across her face. She was satisfied and at awe with herself. She ran her fingers through her hair, she ran out to the trampoline so she could feel her hair move up and down, she liked the feel of a brush going over her scalp…it was a bunch of new and exciting experiences for her.
…And it was all a GIFT!!! …a gift just for Catelynn from love.
Later in the evening while in her room Catelynn said to me, “Now I look like I belong.” It was then that I realized more of the significance of this gift to her. How sad for her to feel like she doesn’t belong…how wonderful that she feels like she does now, but ultimately sad to know it took a hair treatment for her to do so…
