When the power cut off in my house, I thought about going to my dad’s house.
I called him right away, but he was searching for somewhere else to go because he didn’t have any power or any heat.
I told him that I had a heating source, because of the fireplace, and he could come over to the house and we could keep each other busy. Shortly after, he showed up at my house. The two of us ended up having a guy’s night in. We laughed at how we considered going fishing that weekend. If we didn’t know better, the universe was punishing us for not going. Dad and I sat in front of my fireplace and we had a long chat about life. He was concerned about his pipes getting too cold if the power stayed off for too long. Without the power, a furnace, he couldn’t generate enough heat to keep his pipes working properly. I was absolutely upset when I heard about freezing pipes. I called the power corporation to see how long it would take to get power again. Then, I went into the attic and found my portable heating systems. I took the portable heating systems to my dad’s house and sat them around his basement. Next, I turned on all of his faucets so the water would drip out slowly. I was ecstatic that my dad brought up the subject of frozen pipes and I was able to help him out. I could show him that I was a responsible adult again. I can be his son and helper.
