Four Year LHC Anniversary!!!!!!

[Xandergrammy]

It's actually not until tomorrow, but I was afraid I wouldn't have time to post tomorrow morning, so I'm doing it now. 4 years ago I found and joined this wonderful community. Many of you know that I had just lost my only sibling, my sister Audi, and was looking for a diversion to fill the huge void. The people here helped lift me out of a very sad place and I will be forever grateful. And, a side benefit, was the effect this place had on my HAIR! :wink: My hair journey has not been about length, as my hair was long when I joined. However, I did decide to stop dyeing my hair 4 months after I joined, so the last 4 years have brought about many changes in the appearance of my hair. I love my new colors and have never had the urge to dye again. So thank you to everyone here for being such wonderful friends.

Here are some pictures from the past 4 years. Thank you so much, Franny, for helping me with the pictures. :flowers:

[Tressie]

Hi Xandergrammy! I wasn't here four years ago, more's the pity, so I couldn't know about your loss. I am so very sorry! I too have only one sib, a sister, and my best friend. I will be devastated to lose her if she goes before me. I extend late, but very sincere sympathy and hugs to you.

You hair is beautiful, as are you, and I want to say that you apparently haven't aged at all in four years!! What's your secret? Bless you~ (o:

[BonnyJ]

Congratulations and what lovely hair!

[princessp]

wow congratulations on year #4!! i also want to extend my condolences about your sister. i have more sisters than most (6) and i dread the day i lose any one of them. my Dad passed in 06 too which gave me so much insight regarding the process of grieving. so I'm fairly certain you still "have those days" hopefully, the smiley ones outweigh the sad ones. i'm new here so i haven't traveled with you on this journey, but please know i send much love and light your way. :flower:

okay enough about that sensitive stuff, your hair is gorgeous!!!!!

[Tresses]

Happy Anniversary and Congratulations on your beautiful hair! :grin:
