Sting's daughter Mickey Sumner saw a Humans of NY post from a fan's daughter and reached out to make his dying wish come true.
But he “never lost touch with his creative side.” Along with building things himself, he encouraged his daughter’s creativity too, paying her 50 cents for any “good” stories she wrote. “One day he built a little art studio at the back of our house,” she shares. “And he painted a single painting—a portrait of Sting that he copied from an album cover. But he got busy with work and never used the studio again.
“He was always saying: ‘when I retire.’ ‘I’ll go back to art, when I retire.’ ‘I’ll show in a gallery, when I retire.’ But that time never came,” she says. After being diagnosed with MS in 1998, her dad slowly deteriorated. He went into home hospice where his daughter says he had “no regrets” about the life he lived. Well, maybe one.
“During his final days, we were going through his possessions, one by one. He was telling me who to give them to,” she recounts. “I pulled the Sting painting out of an old box, and asked: ‘What should I do with this?’ His response was immediate. ‘Give it to Sting,’ he said. All of us started laughing. But Dad grew very serious. His eyes narrowed. He looked right at me, and said: ‘Give it to Sting.’ So I guess that’s my final assignment.
