The Lock of Hair

This Relic is one of my most prized possessions.

It is a lock of my mothers hair.

She gave it to me after she was 70 years old and her hair had long ago gone white. We were looking through her jewelry box at a ton of Jade things.

She said it was the first snip when in the 70s she changed her hair style to that pixie cut thing. She laughed really hard when she told me that like there was more to the story than she was sharing.

--My dad always always called her, "Runt".
