Our son returned with us after 10 years as empty trees

In August 2024, our son and family lost their house in a destructive fire.

The time stood steadfast while we saw the house burning, God thanked our loved ones safe. But the next morning, everything was quickly.

My son and daughter had almost no time to treat shock. While ignoring their exhaustion, they addressed something after another on the list of tasks never ended.

First, they went to the city to buy clothes and necessities while trying to find words to calm 4 years. Then the arduous ordeal of dealing with the insurance claim began and setting plans to rebuild.

My husband and I decided to jump and help how we can: we have made them move with us.

There were a lot of decisions to be taken at this short time

Brunto’s decisions had to be made. My son was starting a new site at work within two weeks. My tinker was five months pregnant, and there were no suitable places for rent near.

Since our new house was wide enough to accommodate them, it makes sense to live here. We had a bathroom added to the basement, which completed a special living space for them consisting of three large furnished bedrooms and a living area.

If they found a place for rent, they would have had to buy new furniture and home tools quickly without time to look at the suitability of their final house. They had already sufficient pressure with these changes in the main life and dealing with the insurance claim.

We have retired, so we have time to support them in treating the tragedy and sharing 4 -year -old care as needed. In addition to a new child deserved in January, we can make life much easier by providing a temporary house.

We had an open conversation and decided together that we could make it work temporarily

None of us was happy with the possibility of living together for a year. We all knew that there are good and difficult days – this is life.

But when we reformulate our mentality, knowing that the situation is temporary and that the family is more important than anything, it has become implemented. After all, this is the standard in some cultures and for some in harsh health or financial situations. Sacrifice of privacy and space is a little price to pay for the return of your family.

We were a fan of more than 10 years, so saying that this was a slight adjustment from Bakhs. We are used to being calm and tidy, and we are free to come and go as we like. Our schedules are now intertwined. Adapting to our lifestyle means unavoidable noise when someone tries to sleep or work and sometimes when not everyone is hungry. Individual preferences when it comes to home temperature and meal options sometimes a problem.

My son often knows from the house, so we must be very calm, which is an achievement in the days when I am tampering with the grandchildren of my child. Helping with children as needed without exceeding it sometimes represents a challenge, but the other side of this brings the unlimited bonus of our grandchildren and inserting them into a precious family moments that are countless.

We use humor

Regardless of some financial compensation from the insurance company to obtain accommodation, we do not have expectations, even when it comes to sharing local tasks. We accept the generosity of assistance when submitted, but we do not ask any demands.

We are often able to overlook the simple inconvenience by deviating of humor. We have decided that it is not worthy of relationships at risk just to do things on our way. Therefore, we live harmoniously as possible, knowing that there will be a day when the house will be very calm. Fortunately, their new home will not be too far.

We have now arrived during the winter, which is the longest and most difficult. The promise of spring means that building the new house is just around the corner. We will be more free to spend more time outdoors raising all our souls. We are in the last extension.
