It is actually chilly outside in addition to I can just hear our mom's voice. If she were still alive, she would be huddled in her room, the part heating system would be on high in addition to the door would be shut tightly. I used to laugh at her in addition to how she would shiver when it was time to come out for lunch or dinner. She would put on her heaviest sweater, that didn't look like a coat. She would sit as close to the fireplace as she could get. On mornings like the two of us have been having this last couple weeks, the two of us had our fireplace on, even with the gas furnace. There is no way you can overcome hot in addition to cold temperatures that are sub-zero. The gas furnace is costly to buy fuel for, so the two of us use the fireplace. Mom hated the cold, in addition to yet she loved living with us. There were times when I would take her food to her in her family room. I would bring mine back, in addition to the two of us would sit there in addition to chat. Occasionally, our fiance would come back in addition to sit on the bed. He didn't like the excess heating in her room, because she would have the temperature control at around eighty. He would eat abruptly in addition to leave. Mom understood, even if she did appreciate his contractor. It was those times when the two of us would have the best conversations. Sitting in that overheated room, I found our best friend in addition to our confidante. She isn't with me anymore, although I still turn the temperature control up in her room in addition to I will sit there in addition to talk to her. The heating soothes me in addition to I can just see her sitting in front of her PC, in addition to I can smile.
