Mom was quite good at making all of us feel guilty for moving away and leaving her alone. She always said we wanted to be as far away from her as possible. Admittedly, she was right to some extent. My brothers and I love our mom but we knew there was no way we were progressing living at home. We had to move out at some point even though we knew we always had room at home. Mom wasn’t happy with us living so far away but we knew she was so proud of the progress we had all made. She called each week to encourage us to keep succeeding while at the same time making us promise to be home for the holidays. I recall a conversation we had one early summer morning as I was getting ready for work. Mom was explaining to me that the cooling system in her home had some issues. She said the cooling system was running as usual but the cool air blowing from it was getting little and little. It was like something was clogging the cooling system which prevented it from working effectively. I advised mom to speak to Drake who was the area independent HVAC repair person. He did house calls and we all knew he had a sweet spot for my mom. She wasn’t happy with my teasing but mom did call Drake after I hung up. He came by that afternoon and noted that the cooling system’s condenser coil was clogged. A dirty coil was causing a reduction in cooling efficiency so he had to clean it. Mom was quite pleased there was a solution and fixed tea for them to drink while chatting.
