It seems like a nice space. I've always liked the angled ceilings of attics.

Good luck with making your daughter's playroom and bedroom

I'll just bet smallsteps is excited to get her own space.  One of the coolest spaces that I remember as a kid was of my friend.  They had a family of 5 boys so had to maximize space in their farmhouse.  My friend and his brother (the two youngest) shared a fair sized room.  But they each had a finished dormer space that was PRIVATE.  It was small, and crowded but sooooo cool.  Been 55 years since I've seen that space and I still remember it well.

I'm sure your father made his choices with the very best information he had at the time.  Like all of us sometimes right, sometimes not so much.  But he consistently did his best for his family and community.  That's some damn high praise right there.  

How can I tell all this?  His two boys that I know are pretty damn fine in my book.  Tells me plenty.

Wow, how many questions that are unrealistic to find answers. At such moments (when the head is full of many questions) there is no better medicine than work. Well, do not relax, there is still a lot of work :)

I am glad to see that the portrait of the typical artist is demystified. A lot of people imagine artists like being from another planet, dreamy, reckless, without any purpose in life other than to create, weak in front of addictions etc. This is a wrong image. There are artists just like your father was: creative, yet disciplined, with a sense of loyalty towards the family. A well balanced artist.

I am sure that most of the times a parent might ask themselves if the children will accept their choices. I am not sure about this because usually kids grow up differently than we might have expected and see things with a different mindset than the one the parent had. I think acceptance is the responsability of the one who has to deal with mixed emotions. Parents will not always approve the choices of the child and viceversa. Choices must be done, embraced, understood. If not accepted, at least we must be able to make peace with them. We can't control the way we are perceived, we can only try to do the best choices and be the best model we can be. The rest is out of our control.

Our lives, have many different  phases and colors to them. Many ups and many downs are what contains them. With all of the diversities, there's one things in common, and that's the end of life which we all have to go through. At the end, as you said, we should be able to be ok with what we are, and what we have done. Acceptance of our flaws and imperfections, and of course the inevitable end of life, will definitely have a very important role in having a meaningful life.

May he rest in peace. <3

So glad to read that the little ones face lit up when she saw and heard your explantions about her future den.
I imagine that she is already making up stories about all that she is going to do up there hahaha.
A child's innocence is so contagious!

It would only have been wasted if he'd given up painting entirely.

Small's space looks like it's going to be an amazing place that she will always remember fondly :)

How you holding up?

@tarazkp, Your daughter will grow further by having her own space. Your daughter looks as strong as you.
