Gemma found the house vandalized. Economy had declined and so had the neighborhood. Nate lend her the money to fix the house and now it feels like home to her again. She hardly ever thinks of her father, but in these chilly winter nights when she watches the boats go by on the river, she remembers her mother fondly and hopes, that she is a bit proud of Gemma for becoming the artist, she never could be. #growinghouseproject, #family, #seasons, #treeoflife, #nocc, #moo
