(I'm not single. Can I post anyway?)

Here's one I've always liked. it's called "The Helping Hand" by Emile Renouf:

Here's Another, "The Rising Wind" by Montigue Dawson

This last one is my mom's favorite (she is 86 now). A print of it has been in the house forever. We didn't know much about it until recently. A friend saw it and told her the story; the little girl is actually the daughter of the artist. The story is she is blind and listening to the bird song. It is called "Spring Song" by Glucklich.

I don't know if the story is true, if you look closely you'll see the girl's eyes are closed. When my mom tells the story it still makes her cry.

My great grandmother had that pic of the girl and the Robbin hanging in her dining room all of my life. It hangs in my grandmother’s living room today.

Apparently they were sold by traveling salesmen in the 20s or 30s.

Course you can post the more the merrier. We have many non singles post and hang out here.

Whilst we often have subjects that are based more on singles we do as tonight have general themes which is just an opportunity for a group of FRiends to chat and get to know each other better.

We certainly welcome non-singles, and you seem to know this topic. Thanks for joining the discussion.
