My parents owned a lovely condo for more than 2 years, & I have so more than 2 memories as a child in that house.
I wish that they did not have to sell it, however it was time.
My parents are getting older, & they were not able to take care of the big, seasoned condo that they lived in. I offered to let them come live with me, & they readily accepted. They both knew that they needed help doing morning to morning task, & I would be able to help them. I have a finished basement where my parents live which allows them to feel independent. I check on them everyday to make sure that they are doing okay. They also share a garage with me which has been a point of contention. They are used to having an linked, heated garage, however my garage is detached from my house, & it is not heated. They have trouble with the cold, so they tend not to want to go somewhere because the garage is so cold. I told them that I would start their automobile a couple minutes before they wish to leave so that it is warm, however they guess it is a waste of fuel. I undoubtedly would like them to get out more, so I have been trying to heat my garage at least a little bit. I purchased a kerosene heater that I put in the garage. I turn it on early in the morning, so the garage is moderate by the time my parents want to go out. I guess it is working because they have went out quite a bit more since I started heating the garage. Their logic about it is funny, but I am cheerful that they are glad.
