African hair


Look at this piece of art! My daughter had her hair done this morning. Stéphanie, her hairdresser, is a beautiful black lady from Cameroon. She is the nicest person with a strong faith in God. We spent a lot of hours talking together, trying to calm down my daughter when she was a little girl and didn't want us to touch her hair. I love to hear her talk about Africa. Can you imagine, she lived next door to school and her mother prepared everyday lunch not only for her own children, but for the other children of the family as well, 18 in total! They were not rich, but there was always enough for all of them. These women were saints!
