I miss my dad so much.
He passed away back in 2007, and I cannot tell you how hard it has been without him in my life.
He was my everything. He taught me all that I know. He was always teaching. Everything that he did with us kids was a lesson, although he made it fun. Because of him, I prefer to learn and to toil with my hands. I am so grateful that I had such a charming father and work model in my life. My dad was an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C professional by trade, although he could do just about anything. He did teach all of us children about Heating, Ventilation, and A/C toil though. I got to go with him on multiple repair calls, and he would teach me all about how boilers and air conditioners work. I just enjoyed it. I wish I remembered even half of what I learned, but I am thankful that I knew enough to be able to fix my own boiler. I did get a little help from my hubby, but I was able to diagnose the problem, and I knew how to fix it as well. I credit that all to my amazing dad. I wouldn’t know the first thing about fixing a boiler if it weren’t for his devoted teaching and patience. I am actually not as wonderful as he was though. My mom told me the other morning that her temperature control was giving her trouble, and I went over there to look at it, but I could not figure out what the complication was. If my dad was still here, there is no doubt in my mind that he would already have that temperature control working always again. I miss him so much!
