I helped him build the house 20 years ago and we built it well enough to withstand a category five hurricane.
I woke up early this morning so I decided to go for a nice jog along the beach. It’s almost Christmas and I haven’t been home for two years now. I used to run with my buddy in the states and I miss his company, he always pushed me a little harder when we ran. I plan on going back soon to visit my family and friends and I know it is going to be bittersweet because my father is no longer with us. I plan on staying with my stepmom to keep her company because I know she’s lonely. Dad had the best electric heating system in his house which is funny because he lives in the South where we really don’t even need heating for the house. Every time I go over to their house in the winter it is so warm inside without any heat running. He insulated the house well and made sure the ductwork was large enough to accommodate the monster a/c system he had installed. I helped him build the house 20 years ago and we built it well enough to withstand a category five hurricane. He has five HEPA filters in the air conditioner and has a gas furnace that can heat the living room up in about 15 minutes. My father built up a real estate empire, accruing 25 houses over the past 50 years, so he is leaving us with a fortune. He has a few portable space heaters in the garage that I may use because my heating system seems to be inadequate.
