Traumatic with a great ending

I know what you are thinking.  How can I call a picture of such a beautiful girl traumatic?  Well, traumatic is the story of how we got here.  Today, Madelyn is off from school (along with the rest of Minnesota) and I decided to trim and layer her hair a little this morning.  Madelyn has been growing her hair out for a LONG time and it seems to never get any longer and lately it has been looking really fizzy and unhealthy, so I wanted to try and get the ends trimmed off.  Well, I have trimmed her hair before and I've done something like layering to Grey's hair before BUT.... it didn't go well this morning.  I got carried away and made a big mess of it and it was AWFUL!!!!  I was crying and apologizing profusely while Madelyn was at first shell-shocked and then bawling too.  I, then, called a friend that styles hair and when when I explained what was wrong and asked if she could fix it, she rescued us!  I took Madelyn and Greyson to her house, got a reassuring hug, and then stayed with her kids while she took Madelyn to her salon and fixed the mess that I made, painted her nails, made her smile, and loved on her too.  Thank you, God, for friends that will drop everything to help!  When they got back to the house, I loved the new look and was loving the twinkle I saw in her eyes too.  She is such a beautiful girl, but she showed me just how much when later when she commented, "Mom, I know that you didn't do it intentionally. It will be okay. I even like it."  She is my beauty inside and out....  I love you, Madelyn.
