Have you ever had 1 of those experiences when everything seems to go from bad to worse to worst? That’s how all of us felt during the last warm season during 1 of the most trying times for our family… We live in a farming area, and summertimes are a busy season for all.
All of us had to put most of our plans on hold to help our sibling get through this situation.
He almost died from a drug overdose, and this totally crushed our parents. My sibling had lived in the city with our uncle a few years ago and fell in with the wrong group of people. He started abusing drugs severely to the point that he could no longer live with them. They sent him back home, and our parents did whatever they could. But, he was having such a brutal time with the addiction, and on top of dealing with this matter, all of us also had to try to function with a failing AC machine. At the very beginning of summertime, dad called an AC pro to tune up the machine. When she evaluated the AC machine, she advised our dad to start preparing to purchase a current cooling machine. The 1 all of us had was easily on its last leg and would soon fail. As if that wasn’t harsh enough, all of us got 1 of the worst heat waves in our area. Our struggling AC machine tried to keep the residence cool for a couple of nights. But, 1 day, it just stopped working altogether. All of us were left moving two portable AC machines around the residence to keep ourselves cool… Everyone hoped summertime would be over and we had have better luck in fall or Winter.
