A Place in My Mind

In Times of Darkness, Joy Can Be Found in the Past or in the Hope of a Bright Tomorrow

Art Marsicano shares the inspiring story of his wifes five-year battle with ovarian cancer in this tribute to God, marriage, and the power of love. In Jeans final years, she smiled more than she cried and reached out to help others when she was the one in trouble. While cancer may have destroyed her body, it did not destroy her mind, soul or her essence. But as cancer took its toll, Art was forced to think about a life of living alone. One day, a verse of poetry fixed itself into his mind: theres a place in my mind that so clearly I see and when I go there I think of thee there are mountains and rivers and the wind blows free yet I feel great sorrow, for there is only me When Jean died, Art found comfort by relying on Gods strength and thinking about the sunny days of the past, including four women that he wanted to reconnect withdiscovering that two of them had died. But one of the women, Mary, would find him by sending a condolence card in the mail. Soon, Art would discover that his life could still have magic and love.
