“The Paper Boats” by Alf Sukatmo. Vector artwork.
Dee asked me to teach her how to made the boats and a pirate hat from unused brochures and a piece of old newspaper.
“Well sure, why not,” i said.
“Can we play it together?” she asked.
I had a deadline coming up, but she had no one to play with except me, and i didn’t want to disappoint her.
So, i decided to made her several boats and a hat, but she refused, all that she asked was i taught her how to make them. It sure going to take a little longer time, but again, she had her way to melt a father heart (and made her father ignoring upcoming deadline.)
After all that was finish, we played the pirate, i am the pirate and she still held her role, as pirate’s daughter. And guess what, even a quiet man can do sword dance if his little daughter requested him.
A simple request from a daughter and a simple moment on a simple day of a father have delivered, i still had enough time to meet the deadline and even made this picture. I watch her as she sleeps, a smile, a beautiful smile on her lips complete my perfect evening.

Reblogged this on Patsy's Creative Corner.
This is so beautiful! And you made the right choice; she’ll remember that.
Thanks, Patsy!
She is almost 4, and requiring a lot of attention and time. I am happy that i am able to give her that.
That was one of my favorite ages with my daughter. She is fortunate to have you available all the time!
I guess my circumstance turn out to be blessing in disguise for both of us. I have all the time she needs, i have watch her grow which is become the pure joy for my soul. I am both a lucky father, and a lucky man, Patsy.
That’s great, Alf! It’s nice to hear someone so happy! I miss when my kids were little sometimes, but I am enjoying their teen years now as well. They have both been tremendous blessings in my life.
Thanks.
I watch their photo in your blog. They are great teenagers, and they will be great person very soon.
You’re welcome, and thank you, Alf! I appreciate that. 🙂
My pleasure, Patsy! 😀
