My kids were enthusiastic about moving to the cottage in the province, then they had lost their dad and my partner a few months back and we all missed so much.
One of her final wishes was for us to live in the farm condo where she grew up as a kid, and she had wanted us to transfer together however unluckyly she didn’t manage to beat the cancer that she had battled for 5 years… With most people yearning for a new life, and a opportunity to reconnect with him, the kids and I agreed to transfer at the end of the semester, my partner’s parents were still alive and they were eager to have us transfer with them.
They had wanted this for so long however medical commitments as well as school had pushed us to postpone each time! SInc the time was right, we packed our remaining belongings that I had not sold and happily moved back to the province. The first agenda was to have Mr. Stone, the town’s oldest Heating & Air Conditioning supplier owner, send her team of Heating & Air Conditioning techs to examine the old Heating & Air Conditioning system. My friend and I had already discussed how we would be replacing the old boiler and a/c with a new unit. My kids are too sensitive to weather change and this was something I could not compromise on. My inlaws were supportive and even helped me with the negotiations. WIthin the first week, the condo had a new Heating & Air Conditioning system installed and the Heating & Air Conditioning device worked perfectly. When it is not too chilly though, we use the old wood stove as this gives us a sense of togetherness when we gather around the fireplace.
