"So I said to her, mama, why do you cry so much? And you know what she said? She said, oh, it makes my eyes bright. That's what she said to me. It's what makes my eyes so bright."

"I do it to keep my fingers working- I may put it down for a few days and cry, but I never give up. And I can always laugh- if you don't laugh, then you may as well commit suicide!"

It seems so odd that laughter should sound so much like tears. This post is dedicated to Eleanor, because she laughed.
