So, I must have been 12 or 13 years old when this happened. Our hairdresser had become a really close friend to the family and started paying us home visits and doing our hair at home.

Her mother was in the hospital with cancer at the time and things weren't looking so good. We still had an appointment scheduled and I was so excited to finally get my hair cut and coloured.

That evening while I was waiting for her to finally arrive, my mum came into my room with tears in her eyes saying that she wouldn't be coming as her mother had just passed. Instead of being sad or something like that I was getting super annoyed and angry. My mum couldn't believe I was being this way and I remember saying 'well, her mum has nothing to do with me??'.

All just because I wasn't getting my hair done that evening.

To this day I still feel bad every time I see her. She obviously doesn't know I ever said that but still... I can't believe how I could have been so heartless and I am truly sorry.
