A Calgary girl who lost her mother to cancer wept as she shed her cherished long blond hair in a show of solidarity with her teen brother — who's now also battling the disease. Nine-year-old Sofia Smith was four when her mother, Tatiana, died of cancer. Sofia's 14-year-old brother Rand was diagnosed with lymphoma earlier this year. Comforted by her father Dallas, Sofia wept while her long hair fell to the floor. Now that Sofia has no hair, she might want to start wearing hats to stay warm, her brother Rand said.
