This is a photo of my 93-year-old grandmother from last week. She had not cut her hair since the pandemic began. I have never in my entire life seen her with hair this long. She was born in Puerto Rico in 1927 and came to New York after WWII to work as a seamstress. Although she only had a third-grade education, she was a member of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union for many years and a lifelong Democrat. When my parents divorced in the early 1980s, my grandmother moved in with us and I was very close with her as a teenager. I haven’t seen her in almost two years because of the pandemic, but I’m hoping to rectify that soon.
