Beautiful story, beautiful work.
Bravo!
Seems to me that it is fundamentally important to us, to our happiness and fulfillment, to pursue our heart's path.
There can be many hurdles in doing this, so great that leaping the Dad-hurdle turned out so well for you ... the universe (in this case in the shape of Dad) helping in unexpected ways.
Wonderful.
Love & Peace & Freedom
