Abraham Lincoln- "You are Sure to be Happy Again" Poster

Abraham Lincoln Quotation- "You are Sure to be Happy Again". This remarkable extract from a letter written on December 23rd, 1862 to the daughter of a fallen friend, William McCullough, can be applied as a response to the current COVID-19 Pandemic. The contents of the letter are as follows:- "Dear Fanny It is with deep grief that I learn of the death of your kind and brave Father; and, especially, that it is affecting your young heart beyond what is common in such cases. In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and, to the young, it comes with bitterest agony, because it takes them unawares. The older have learned to ever expect it. I am anxious to afford some alleviation of your present distress. Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You can not now realise that you will ever feel better. Is not this so? And yet it is a mistake. You are sure to be happy again. To know this, which is certainly true, will make you some less miserable now. I have had experience enough to know what I say; and you need only to believe it, to feel better at once. The memory of your dear Father, instead of an agony, will yet be a sad sweet feeling in your heart, of a purer and holier sort than you have known before. Please present my kind regards to your afflicted mother. Your sincere friend A. Lincoln" This poster shows a vintage photograph of President Abraham Lincoln against a backdrop of the current American Flag to bring it up to date. The poster text offers consolation in today's Pandemic. We hope the words will alleviate distress and give comfort to everyone. "You are Sure to be Happy Again"
