I looked at her in admiration as her store was full of people with bags of her hair and even the number she had in the ‘Ghana must go’ was a lot and all I could do was think of the money she had made. It blew my mind and I was in that thought when I heard ‘Come dear, did you get any hair?! I looked up and realized she was talking to me, I still wasn’t sure and she asked me to come closer, I went and she said she liked my face and she gave me a pack she kept for someone else saying she would find a way to replace it. I smiled. She was sweet to me and that made me really happy. Rest In Peace ma’am!
