Sting's Daughter Mickey Sumner Helps Woman Fulfill Her Late Stepfather's Dying Wish

Sting's daughter Mickey Sumner is helping turn one talented, New York police officer's final wish into reality.

On Tuesday, popular blog Humans of New York shared the heartwarming story of one interviewee who revealed that her beloved, late stepdad — who worked as an officer in the city for two decades before he died of multiple sclerosis — told her to handle one of his biggest dreams at the time of his death.

"During his final days, we were going through his possessions, one by one. He was telling me who to give them to. I pulled the Sting painting out of an old box, and asked, 'What should I do with this?' " she recalled to the outlet. "His response was immediate ... He looked right at me, and said, 'Give it to Sting.' So I guess that's my final assignment."

Her stepfather, who previously "worked at an auto shop, airbrushing designs onto the side of vans" because "he dreamed of being an artist" began his career in law enforcement when he "needed something more stable."

The woman says that she met her stepdad when she was 5 years old — around the same time he started "making my mother smile." He became a police officer to provide stability for his new family after the couple decided to get married.

Still, she says "he never lost touch with his creative side. He was always building things around the house — making things look fancier than we could afford. He built my first bike from scraps."

"One day, he built a little art studio at the back of our house," she told the blog. "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," she explained. "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. Dad was a cop for 2o years. He was one of the good ones. The kind of cop you see dancing on the street corner or skateboarding with kids. But in 1998, he was diagnosed with MS."

The woman says his symptoms from the disease — which affects the brain and spinal cord and gradually causes the immune system to attack the body — started with "a little weakness" but eventually caused her stepdad to need a wheelchair. After some time, "he couldn't even hold a paintbrush."

Still, he was surrounded by the unconditional love of his family until his last breath. "We did his hospice at home. He seemed to have no regrets," she told the outlet. "He'd been a wonderful provider. He'd raised his daughters. He'd walked me down the aisle."
