I did a blog post on Makenzie a few weeks ago. You can see it here. I talked about how Makenzie was going to do something special to honor her beautiful aunt. Her aunt Amy lost her life way to soon to breast cancer. When Amy was going through treatments, she had a vision of a pink tattered ribbon draped over a cross. Amy’s nephew drew a picture of the cross for her and it was exactly what she had visioned. Well, Makenzie has been growing her hair out for a long time and decided she wanted to shave all her hair off and donate it. I just think that is so amazing and courageous for a 16 year old girl. This was not out of rebellion, this was out of love for others. She is so loving and caring and this was something that was really on her heart to do. Then with her parents support, she took the picture that was drawn of the cross to a tattoo artist. She along with her brothers all got a tattoo of the drawing to remember their aunt and honor her in their own special way. Makenzie has one of the most beautiful, giving, and loving souls! Here she is with her new tattoo and hairdo. 🙂
Here is a photo of Makenzie and her beautiful aunt Amy. I had the pleasure of taking photos of Amy and her family. This was taken a week before Amy went home to be with her Lord and Savior. Makenzie often used her hair to cover up her aunts balding head due to chemo. They have many photos like this. I love how much love is in this photograph.
