So I'll be grinning like an idiot for most of the day.

Last week on saturday there was a Golf Tournament. It was held by a lady at my mom's work for two little girls. They had just recently lost there mother and only surviving parent to an illness. They're now living with their grandparents. This tournament was to raise money to start an education fund for them and the lady was looking for different prizes to offer since admission cost $80.

She asked mom for some of my art and I said yes so mom and I got some stuff printed and framed and they were put in last week. I didn't hear anything till today, but I've been told that each girl recieved one of the prints and were thrilled with them! The lady said they smiled for the first time since the funeral. Everyone else was in awe (as my mother puts it, so i don't wuite believe it) over my work and wondered where the lady ever got it.

The tournament raised over $8000 which is a very nice number and the little girls were able to smile.

That is the reason I love doing art. I want to be able to make people smile, to remind them to dream and to let them know they are loved and I was able to do that last week.

So yeah. It's a good day.

Now to go work on Legend, because I forgot...it's saturday isn't it?

:)

Aww, how wonderful! What a great way to help make someone smile who has been through a lot. ^_^ And I know your art usually puts a smile on my face too.
