It’s so tough 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 and I lost our dad two years ago and it’s still tough to even think about him. But I think he would approve of having air conditioning in the cabin he left to us. This was his spot for sure. He was raised in a different era where hunting actually put meat on the table and in the freezer. The fact that his hunting cabin was on land owned by the family for generations made it all the better. My brother and I could hardly bring ourselves to visit the cabin much less start renovations that ended up including HVAC equipment. This was the place where my brother and I learned an awful lot about being grown men. There was something about how easy dad was when we were roughing it at the cabin. It was all just so simple out there. These days, I now understand why he would shed the commercial HVAC of the office for long weekends of solitude at the cabin. After we made a few visits just us, my brother and I decided that we wanted to make the cabin family friendly. Times had changed as we both adore our wives and want them with us. Plus, we both only have daughters. So adding satellite wi-fi and a couple of ductless heat pumps for the Summer made sense. We even spruced up the place with some new furnishings as well. Yea, I think dad would love hanging out here with his granddaughters.
