My hair dresser cut off too much hair :/?

i had long hair, like it was down to my elbows. i had a lot of split ends, so i wanted to get 1 or 2 inches cut off. i had gone to this hair dresser before and he did a good job last time, but this time he ended up cutting it like 2 more inches. now it is only a little past my armpit. i know that hair grows back, but i'm still upset. on the bright side, my hair is much healthier with the dead ends gone and i know they would of only gotten worse had i not cut it. how can i feel better about losing some of the length of my long hair?
