I finally was able to finish a very important job I have been working towards my entire life.
The entire family was there, and the crew had all brought their families, as well… Side by side, my son and I were permitted to unveil his up-to-date residence, and it was particularly one of the proudest moments of my life.
My son and I haven’t regularly gotten along in our time, especially after he went away to school and we stopped communicating constantly… How a blue collar guy like me had such a white collar kid will never make sense to me, but that is how it turned out. Now things have come together, as my construction supplier has built a residence that my architect son designed. After he moves in, we plan on working on other construction projects together. He is trying to get a contract with the town to renovate all sorts of public parks and old buildings, and if he gets it he wants me to be the general contractor and bring my job crews to execute the work. It easily turns out that he secretly wanted to do this work with me, because he saw me as an old fashioned guy who worked really hard, but he knew he wasn’t actually cut out for construction work. By taking this particular path in life, he managed to figure out a way to easily work with me in construction, and be able to stay in a comfy office too. I adore this arrangement, it lets me do work with my son and focus on the construction task at hand, which I care about more than making phone calls and doing paperwork.
