I love this story. Coincidence or not, how lovely that your son received this special gift.

Everyone has a story(s). And yours is so compelling. I thoroughly loved this note from you, that tells just a tiny tip of the melting iceberg of your story. Thanks so much for sharing - and know that you have a hungry audience (of which I sit in the first row), for more about more.

Love this warm story as it reminds me of my daughter’s chalet in the Gatineau where she also has paintings, one of my father’s, plus those acquired . Wonderful memories, a world away from the brouhaha of this world.

What a lovely bit of writing. Just amazing that painting showing up in your son’s new office. I belief it was sent there by his grandfather.

Towing an atv on a borrowed dock with a Stanley! 👍 We can relate - also have a wall o’ art and water access but the atv would crowd our tiny plot! Enjoy the nature!❤️🇨🇦❤️

The barge! Love it! Useful toy upon it. You'll be making hearty lunches soon, Mo, for the hungry bush whacker. Loved your story, beautiful art wall and the history behind it. Thank you for sharing.

Of all the inherited pieces and collectables that the adult children want to receive the art work is probably the most cherished. Possibly the memories of whose they where and where they hung makes it significant.

Wonderful that it touched your son.
