My 17-year-old son shaved his head for his girlfriend, who was fighting cancer, but the next morning his mother called me from the hospital and said, “You have to see what Aaron has done…”

A soft brown hair had begun to grow on Aaron’s head.

A slight shadow of hair had also appeared on Lily’s head.Guides Parenting

I always thought I was raising a kind boy.

But that day in the hospital I realized that something had changed.

My son had become a good young man, not because he had shaved his head, but because he made sure that the girl he loved never felt like he had to face the darkest moment of his life alone.
