I know a lot of people who talk about how difficult it is growing up and feeling like something is constantly missing.
A lot of my friends grew up in broken homes just like I did.
My good friend and I are all missing a parent in some area of our life… Even if our parental units are technically alive and present. For instance, plenty of us complain about having absentee fathers who never absolutely gave us the emotional support that my buddy and I wanted. In my case, I have constantly been missing my mother. Honestly, I have not been that broken up about it because she left my family when I was 10 years old. I never thought about reuniting with my Dad or uneasy about where she wound up. However, I found out a few weeks ago by accident. I was at the heating and cooling maintenance shop like usual when a normal Heating and Air Conditioning maintenance appointment was called in to the front desk. I agreed to take on the air-conditioning inspection and suddenly drove over to the residential Heating and Air Conditioning maintenance appointment. When I arrived in the driveway I was more than ready to get the air conditioning maintenance over with. I wanted to go home for the night and I didn’t need any problems with the cooling system to deter me. Unluckyly, I never could have anticipated that I would come face-to-face with my Dad when I knocked on the door to learn about the a/c. It turns out, my missing mother has been living in the same city all along… And she has been suffering from low indoor air quality thanks to her aged Heating and Air Conditioning system. I know she could have avoided this air quality conundrum if she had kept her children in her life.
