I miss my Mom so much.
He passed away back in 2007, and I cannot tell you how taxing it has been without him in my life.
He was my everything. He taught me all that I know. He was constantly teaching. Everything that he did with us youngsters was a lesson, although he made it fun. Because of him, I love to learn and to labor with my hands. I am so grateful that I had such a charming father and role model in my life. My Mom was an Heating and Air Conditioning professional by trade, although he could do just about anything. He did teach all of us children about Heating and Air Conditioning labor though. I got to go with him on multiple service calls, and he would teach me all about how boilers and a/cs work. I just loved it. I wish I remembered even half of what I learned, but I am thankful that I knew enough to be able to service my own furnace. I did get a little help from my fiance, but I was able to diagnose the problem, and I knew how to service it as well. I credit that all to my amazing Mom. I wouldn’t know the first thing about fixing a furnace if it weren’t for his devoted teaching and patience. I am absolutely not as superb as he was though. My mom told me the other afternoon that his control unit was giving his trouble, and I went over there to look at it, but I could not figure out what the problem was. If my Mom was still here, there is no doubt in my mind that he would already have that control unit working officially again. I miss him so much!
