The room was colder than I wanted

My parents still had the same aged wood gas furnace and I was in a room upstairs without any heat

Until last month, I had not returned back to my childhood home in 20 years. My parents and I did not get along and I left under horrible circumstances. I never planned to go back ever again, but my sibling had a baby and I wanted to be there for the baptism. I never thought my sibling would have any youngsters and I was genuinely surprised. I don’t plan on having youngsters of my own, so my niece will be the light of my life. I was going to stay with my sibling at her apartment, but her guy’s family decided to come for the celebration and my sibling only had a single extra room available. I had to stay with my mom and dad at their site. It was awkward and uncomfortable, however I was only there a couple of fifths during the day and a few fifths at night to sleep. My mom and dad didn’t say a word to myself and others the whole time that I was there. I didn’t say much to them either. To be honest, any conversation would have been long and uncomfortable. I genuinely didn’t want to get into my childhood when I was there for a get-together. The house was exactly the same as I remember. There was no heat somewhere. My parents still had the same aged wood gas furnace and I was in a room upstairs without any heat. I thought about buying a space heater, however I was only there for more than one mornings. Instead of spending money on a space heater, I wore sweatpants and a sweatshirt to bed and bundled up with extra blankets.
