Suddenly, Grace, who had been lying on the sofa with her coloring book in her hands, became enthusiastic. “Am I able to be of assistance?” she inquired. In the same way that I made you happy, Mom, I want to make other people happy as well.
The Love Wig Foundation was established as a result of this event.
Over time, grace evolved into the very essence of it. She participated in the selection of designs for wigs, wrote little remarks to accompany each one (such “So you can smile when you wear this,” which she would write in block letters with great care), and gave speeches at events to explain why she was so enthusiastic about the initiative.
Despite the fact that she was only eight years old, she had already grasped the concept many others spend their whole lives attempting to learn: genuine love is about giving without expecting anything in return.
After a number of years had passed, Grace, who was then a teenager, gave me a bear embrace before she took the stage at one of the events that our charity hosted. When she got near to her mother, she said, “See, Mom? Believe me when I say that love makes everything better.
Exactly at that moment, I recalled once again the reasons why she was and would continue to be the most wonderful present I had ever been given.
