It’s so strenuous saying goodbye to your parents.
Almost all of us have to deal with that scenario in one way or the other sometime in our lifetime… My brother & I lost our dad two years ago & it’s still strenuous to even know about him, but I know he would approve of having air conditioning in the lodge he left to us! This was his spot for sure, but he was raised in a different era where hunting very put meat on the table & in the freezer.
The fact that his hunting lodge was on land owned by the family for generations made it all the better. My brother & I could hardly bring ourselves to visit the lodge much less start renovations that ended up including Heating, Ventilation & A/C equipment. This was the place where my brother & I learned an exhausting lot about being grown men. There was something about how easy dad was when my associate and I were roughing it at the lodge, it was all just so easy out there. These afternoons, I now understand why he would shed the commercial Heating, Ventilation & A/C of the office for long weekends of solitude at the lodge. After my associate and I made a few visits just us, my brother & I decided that my associate and I wanted to make the lodge family friendly. Times had changed as my associate and I both prefer our wives & want them with us, plus, my associate and I both only have daughters, and so adding satellite wi-fi & a couple of ductless heat pumps for the Summer made sense. My associate and I even spruced up the place with some new furnishings as well, but yea, I know dad would appreciate hanging out here with his granddaughters.
