Dad and I have always been best friends.
Mom died when I was 17 and I decided I would stay with Dad until he got remarried.
Someone has to look after him. Well, he never did meet anyone else who was marriage material. I guess no one else can compare to Mom. So now, he and I live together. Not that that’s a problem. I’m completely content just taking care of my father. Recently, we moved to the south. It’s amazing how much the weather conditions can change in a short distance. Both of us are used to the cold snowy Winters & mild Summers of the north. It’s quite a bit different here in the south. The summers are so much warmer that’s for sure. The temperatures reach up into the low hundreds during August and that’s not something either of us were prepared for. We brought one of those window air conditioning units from our old house and both my father and I thought that would be enough. It certainly was not. We live in a nice cozy little house, however, it’s so warm here that one window air conditioning unit simply cannot keep up with all the heat from outside. I plan to get at least one more unit for the living room of the home. This would make the house a little bit more livable. I might even get an extra air conditioning unit for my dad’s bedroom as well. He doesn’t like to complain but I don’t think he gets a lot of cold air from the one that’s in my room currently. I wonder if anybody offers a buy-one-get-one-free discount.
