An artist in Virginia had a life full of art. His family members and wife shared a passion for creating. One morning, Louis Jones woke up swollen from lymph node to lymph node. He was diagnosed with lymphoma. Instead of mourning over this discovery he kept creating. So did his wife who was in more distress than he was.

I love this post because I feel like so many people, at our school specifically, can relate to it. We all go through rough times but art is usually a cure to help our moods and minds. This is important to remember as people across the country struggle- it can be inexpensive and easy to obtain.
