H.A. #79- Laughter Lightens the Heart













"To send Light into the darkness of men's hearts- such is the duty of the artist"--Robert Schumann

I suppose I could use my own medicine, we just found out my mother (71 and very healthy) has lung cancer. She was a smoker for many years, but quit last year for no reason, had an xray & she was fine, then hurt her back (working the 6 acres she has to work alone since my father had knee surgery), they took a back xray & found cancer in both lungs. I keep trying to laugh and be encouraging when I am around them, but alone I feel so wretched. I will continue my work here and, hopefully, lighten my own heart in the process.
