My name Val Furney and I live in a small town by the name of Hurley South Dakota. When I was little I became interested in art. The one I admired so much was my grandmother. She is the one that got me started in art.
When I was little she told me if I put my mind to something I could do anything. Its the same with dreams too. If a person has dreams they should follow them.

I thought well I should listen to her and do that. Well when I was thirteen my dreams came to a halt my grandmother died with cancer. The doctors told her that she was cured from it but she wasn't. She died a week afterwards and I couldn't handle it. I went into shock. I wanted her to wake up from her long nap. I didn't quiet understand why she wouldn't get up I realized she wasn't going to because Jesus asked her to come to heaven.

A few years ago my grandfather too had cancer and didn't know about it. If people find out that they have cancer they should find out all they can so its not too late and make sure doctors don't keep anything from them so they can deal with of what's going to happen. For my grand parents, it was too late because the doctors failed to tell them that they had cancer. So find out the truth about it because everybody has the right to know.

And as for me I listened to my grandmother and followed my dreams but that was a crushing blow too. I developed a nerve disorder and to put it behind me so I thought until a friend of mine introduced me to something different. It's still art but totality different. I'm still an artist but in a different way and I know my grand parents are very proud of me.
I love you Grandma & Grandpa.
And thats where my dream got started I know that I could learn a lot from this place.
