Have you ever had a single of those times when everything seems to go from disappointing to worse to the most horrible you can imagine? That’s how we basically felt this past boiling season during a single of the most trying times for our family.
All of us live in a farming community, plus the boiling seasons are a busy season for most people… But, we actually had to put most of our plans on hold to help our sibling! He came really close to dying from a drug overdose, plus this destroyed our parents. My sibling had lived in the neighborhood with our uncle a few years ago plus fell in with the wrong type of people. He started abusing drugs and he could no longer live with them. So, they sent him back home, plus our parents did all they could to help the poor guy. But, he was having such a difficult time with the addiction complication. On top of dealing with this matter, we also had to try to get by with failing AC equipment. At the start of the boiling season, dad called an AC worker to tune up the equipment. When she inspected the AC equipment , she recommended our dad start preparing to purchase new cooling equipment. The HVAC was on its last leg plus would soon fail plus be beyond repair. As if that wasn’t disappointing enough, we ended up facing a single of the worst heat waves in our region. Our exhausting AC equipment honestly tried to keep the beach property cool for a couple of days. But, a single morning, it just stopped working completely, plus we were left moving two portable AC units around the beach property to keep ourselves cool. Everyone hoped the boiling season would be over plus we had improved luck in fall or winter.
