I would have said the very same thing. My (late) parents have loved me and supported me all the way at my decisions, and there were lots of times that they didn't agree with it. With you, Waterknob, being a Christian; would you think that your father would be looking down at (seeing) you from Heaven? He sounded like a very loving and caring Dad for you. I'm sure he would have want you to be happy. And I personally think that working at a museum would be a very nice thing for you.
