All that was left of Chuck as an orphan was an old house. Everything changed when he discovered a hidden area just before he made the decision to sell it. In his neighborhood, Chuck Harris and his parents occupied the oldest home. The house was large but unstable. As Chuck’s father put it, “It’s part of our family,” thus he was never one to sell or build another one.He wanted Chuck and his grandchildren to live there as well, since his family had resided there for several generations. He was born and raised in the old mansion.If the neighbors tore down their old homes and rebuilt them, it was because, after so many fixes and renovations, it would be simpler and possibly even less expensive to just start from scratch. However, Chuck’s father had a different viewpoint. The individual was obstinate and devoted to the location. Chuck approached to his father at the age of twelve, saying,
“Dad, why don’t we move to a new house? I’m tired of bullies because of the old house.” Isn’t it more sensible to simply move to a new location instead of wasting so much time and money trying to renovate this house? “Besides, the other kids would stop making fun of me,” the lad went on.The man said, “Listen, Chuck. Don’t listen to what other people have to say.” We have our life, and they have theirs. Everybody has issues, and our family values this house greatly. Tell someone to mind their own business if they treat you disrespectfully.“Also, when you grow up, please keep this house and keep passing it down to your children.” Chuck gave a nod of agreement. Although he was aware of his father’s stubborn nature, he nevertheless had a kind heart. Chuck fulfilled his commitment thus. His father passed away in a vehicle accident when he reached 22. There was only so much suffering his mother could bear. His mother was diagnosed with heart illness a few months after his father’s death. Something that, six months later, would kill her. Chuck was inconsolable. There was no one else for him. During the few months he spent in mourning, he occasionally thought about selling the house. However, he really didn’t want to do it at all. Rather, he made the decision to ignore everything else and concentrate on his task. Since he was a carpenter at the time, his profession served as a diversion and a means of moving on. That’s how Chuck got by for a few years. He didn’t even realize how messy his house was because he was so preoccupied with his work.
