Great article. I know Van Gogh more so for his sunflower paintings, but I do admire his other work. He certainly did have a tragic life, and only with his physical death did he find peace.
My father endured mental illness, yet he was a very brilliant man. He passed at the age of 50, not by his own hand but because he was not mentally capable of caring for his own medical conditions. His heart finally gave out and he had stomach cancer, which we did not know about until he passed on.
Like Lori indicated, sometimes our gifts come with a hitch.
