Dad, thanks for the curls. You passed them down to me.
I once cursed them. Oh, how much of a pain they could be. But now I wear them proud.
You wore a cape and had curls! You’ll forever be my hero.

Tell us about the superhero cape – that sounds so intriguing. Your Dad sounds like a truly unique and interesting guy!
Thanks Julie! I am a big believer that parents are superheroes. They are there when we need help, a shoulder to cry on, they clothe and feed us for years on end. It can, more often than not be a tiring and thankless job. They’re wearers of many hats. He had the strength of heart that was known throughout the community. I always pictured him as having a cape on even though… Read more »
Mellissa, I love the fact that you appreciate and acknowledge all what your parent have done for you and the family. All too often this is not recognised till they have passed away, and then the guilt! I was always told to eat my crusts, as it would make my hair curly ?.

Very beautiful picture of a father. A father that every child is proud of. A father who is willing to give everything for their child. Willing to sacrifice for the good of his children. It was a very lovely photo with nice curly hair, Melissa. You really got your hair from him.
These are beautiful words, Lotchie. I appreciate what you have said very much. I miss him everyday, and I have come to cherish my hair but it wasn’t always this way. It’s a gift he passed on me. It’s one that I’ll have for the rest of my life.
Not all superheroes wear capes . Some have a head of curls. ❤️

To Leave Comments - Please SignIn with GoogleWe’re the same. I also miss my dad every day. Ever since he died because he was hit by a drunk and motorized man, a lot has changed in our lives, a huge loss that he left us. But we can do nothing but accept and move on with life.
Yes, I agree. Not all superheroes wear capes. Sometimes a curl or straight hair, and sometimes a simple hat.
I’m sorry for your loss ❤️
Dads are special. I’m happy I had mine in my life for as long as I did, I just wish I had him for a bit longer. All parents are superheroes in their own way. It’s something I believe to be true.
Yes, I agree with you, Melissa.

To Leave Comments - Please SignIn with GoogleHow special! I think your curls are wonderful. I am glad that you wear them proud now; you should certainly be proud of them.
Thank you for your kind words!
No problem, Melissa.

To Leave Comments - Please SignIn with GoogleI think most of us go through childhood stages where we want the opposite to what we have – straight hair instead of curly, curly instead of straight! I’m glad you came to love them and every day when you look in the mirror you will be reminded of your father – although I’m sure you already think of him often! My granddaughter (with me in the avatar) is four now and… Read more »
I agree with everything you have mentioned. I did always want straight hair. I found the curls horribly difficult to deal with as a teenager but I came to love them as an adult! I bet your granddaughter looks sweet with her curls. Little girls often do☺️
Oh yes, she is adorable, not that I am biased! Shirley Temple curls. My daughter told me how often people compliment when she is out and 18 months ago when I went interstate to look after her when my daughter was in hospital having her little brother, I saw just how many times! Unfortunately, due to covid, we’ve only been able to video chat but I’m so grateful that is available to… Read more »

I also received compliments as a curtain crawler. But the memory that sticks with me the most is my mom brushing my hair . It was a horrible experience, ? my hair was always full of knots!
I hope you get to see your family soon Sandra! Thankful for technology during these times. It’s better than nothing, I suppose.
You both have such beautiful curls, I wish I could say the same for my frizzy mess. Lovely words to accompany your photograph.
Carrie, do you have curly or wavy hair? I find decent product is the only thing that helps me . Or I’d have a frizzy mess myself!
Thank you for your comment!

To Leave Comments - Please SignIn with GoogleMy hair curls into tight spirals when wet, but as soon as I brush it it’s just a mass of frizz. All I can do is tie it back. I’ve tried so many things to control it, but it won’t behave. It’s shoulder length and won’t grow any longer because it just snaps. I despair of ever having nice hair. I’m just glad that Em didn’t inherit it!
I have a tip. Don’t bother brushing it out besides when it is wet. I don’t touch mine after doing so because I would be a ball of frizz, as well! I just slather product on it when it is damp and then I leave it for a few days. Curly hair tends to be very coarse so washing it too much dries it out, and often it will break off. I… Read more »
