Was Abraham Lincoln EVER happy?

[Mylye2222]

He was happy when he could fulfill an applicant's wish who called at the White House, happy to bring relief and joy to his fellow citizen in need.

After Willie's death, and as his relationship with Robert was less warm ( although I have no doubt he loved Bob deeply too), he transferred almost all his paternal love on Tad, he clung to him. Tad's learning disabilities and new loneliness may have the more eadeared him to do so. It's shown in Spielbergs movie. The two looked inseparable.
