HOME SECURITY SYSTEMS ARE RESPONSIBLE PARENTS’ NO. 1 PRIORITY
Posted by admin on September 5th, 2010
I would always be elated while preparing for my parents’ visit. They were only coming around like three or four times a year, because my dad could not get along well with being stationary for a few hours in those commercial airlines. And that time around, it was their first visit to our new home in Bay View. Our move from Florida to Michigan was quite abrupt because my husband’s work demanded him to stay almost permanently in Michigan and he could not afford to stay apart from us for that long.
We decided to go with him after he was able to find us a posh home in Bay View. The first thing that my dad, who was a retired police officer, was the absence of security systems in our new home. I told him that I did not have any in Florida anyway, and that I stayed at home full time most of the time. Yet he pointed out to me that the ‘most of the time’ was too dangerous to even fathom, knowing that his grandchildren are all girls.
Only a few weeks after our move did I realize that it pays to listen to your parents all the time. There could not be any better way to steer yourself from danger than to hear what your parents have to say. Our kitchen was the access of the burglars who ransacked our home and turned everything over. We were out for a family fishing trip in a nearby county and returning to such a sight was just heartbreaking. Not only did we get the most advanced
security cameras but we also got sensors. What a terrible way to learn indeed!
