If you are reading this letter, it means that I am...

My hair used to be long enough to wear in a ponytail. And sometimes I would do that.  I wear my hair short now, but the most recent time I grew my hair out long - when it was time for a haircut - I cut off the ponytail all at once, and saved it.  I still have it.  A rubberbanded  ponytail in a small unlabeled box in a dresser drawer.  When I die, my kids will probably go through my stuff.  I suspect they will stumble upon my scalp-less ponytail when they lift the lid off that unlabeled box/hair coffin. And they will find that discovery to be disturbing and grotesque - because it is.
Love,
Daddy
