Dear son, the last two didnt go through so this one better or im going to do something to you, Ive been meaning to sit down and write this to you properly, because what you’re about to do deserves more than just a quick “well done” or a pat on the back. As your dad, I’ve had the privilege of watching you grow from a little boy who needed help tying his shoes into someone who now chooses, on his own, to step up for other people. And son, that makes me prouder than I can really put into words. When you told me you were going to take part in this charity event and get a buzz cut to raise money, I’ll admit my first reaction was a mix of surprise and admiration. Hair might not seem like a big deal to some people, but I know it’s part of how you see yourself. I’ve seen you check it in the mirror before heading out. I’ve watched you try new styles. I’ve heard the joking complaints when it wouldn’t sit right. It’s yours. And choosing to shave it off for a cause says something important about you. It says you understand that sometimes helping others means giving up something of your own. That’s a lesson many people take years to learn—if they learn it at all. You’re learning it now, and you’re living it out in a very visible way. That takes courage. Not just the courage to sit in a chair while the clippers buzz and everyone watches, but the courage to say, “I care about this more than I care about how I look.” As your dad, I couldn’t ask for a better reflection of the values I’ve tried to teach you. I don’t know if you fully realize how meaningful this gesture is. For people who lose their hair because of illness, treatment, or circumstances beyond their control, it’s not just about appearance. It can be about identity, confidence, and dignity. By choosing to shave your head in solidarity, you’re sending a message: “You’re not alone.” That message matters more than you might think. There might be nerves leading up to it. You might wonder how you’ll look. You might picture your friends’ reactions. That’s normal. Change is uncomfortable, especially when it’s right there for the whole world to see. But remember this: bravery isn’t about not feeling nervous. It’s about doing the right thing even when you are. And Hugo, you are doing the right thing. I want you to know something else too. I’m not proud of you because you’re shaving your head. I’m proud of you because of why you’re shaving your head. The haircut is just the symbol. The real story is your heart. The real story is your willingness to stand up and say, “I want to help.” That’s the kind of man you’re becoming. There’s something powerful about acts that are visible. People will see your buzz cut. They’ll ask about it. They’ll talk about it. And every time you explain the reason, you’ll be raising awareness all over again. Your action won’t stop when the clippers do. It’ll keep echoing in conversations, in donations, in the example you set. And let me tell you something from a dad who’s lived a few more years: the world needs more men who are willing to care openly. It’s easy to stay comfortable. It’s easy to blend in. It’s easy to say, “Someone else will help.” You didn’t do that. You stepped forward. That matters. When you sit in that chair and the first pass of the clippers goes across your head, I want you to hold your head high—literally and figuratively. Don’t shrink. Don’t hide. Own it. You’re not losing something; you’re giving something. There’s a difference. And here’s another thing I want you to remember: your hair will grow back. It always does. But the character you’re building right now? That stays. Every time you choose generosity over comfort, you’re shaping yourself into someone stronger, kinder, and more grounded. Those qualities last far longer than any hairstyle ever could. I know there will be jokes. There always are. Someone will rub your head for luck. Someone will compare you to a movie character. That’s fine. Laugh with them. But also remember that behind the jokes is respect. People recognize courage when they see it, even if they don’t always say it directly. You might even discover something unexpected—confidence. There’s a certain boldness in a buzz cut. It strips things back. It says, “This is me.” No styling. No hiding. Just you. And I have no doubt you’ll carry it well, because confidence doesn’t come from hair. It comes from knowing who you are and standing by your choices. As your dad, moments like this remind me that you’re growing into your own person. I can guide you, support you, and cheer you on, but the decision to do this? That was yours. And it was a good one. One day, you’ll look back at photos from this event. You’ll see yourself with that shaved head and maybe laugh. But I hope you’ll also remember the reason behind it. I hope you’ll remember that you chose to make a difference. And I hope that becomes a pattern in your life—not necessarily shaving your head again, but choosing compassion when it counts. If I could give you one piece of advice for the day itself, it would be this: be present. Don’t rush through it. Feel the moment. Look around at the people supporting the cause. Listen to the clippers. Let it sink in. You’re part of something bigger than yourself. That’s a powerful place to stand. And know this, without a doubt: I’m proud of you. Not in a loud, showy way. Not just for the event. But in a deep, steady way that comes from seeing the kind of man you’re becoming. You’re thoughtful. You’re brave. You’re willing to act on your values. That’s all a father can really hope for. No matter what you look like afterward—whether your head is smooth as glass or you discover a funny-shaped patch you never noticed before—you’re still my son. And nothing makes me prouder than seeing you use your strength for something good. Stand tall, Hugo. Let the hair fall. And remember that the real measure of a man isn’t how he looks—it’s how he shows up for others. I’ll be cheering you on every step of the way. Love, Daddy

No matter what your head looks like afterward—whether it’s smooth and shiny, slightly patchy, or surprisingly stylish—you’ll still be the same thoughtful, compassionate person underneath. The haircut doesn’t define you. The reason behind it does. So when the moment comes, take a deep breath. Embrace the buzz. Let the hair fall. And know that every strand represents support, solidarity, and hope. From Big O
