Emotional moment in ‘house made’ for Mo, who lost his father through electrocution: « A rat or a mouse had hunted the cable » (Lummen)

« I am working on the electricity that cables do not touch, » warns Mo. That caution has been ingrained extra hard for him. « Because my father died due to electricity. »

« We lived in an apartment where we had a water pump. It was repairing my father, but the combination of water and electricity … Apparently a rat or mouse had hunted a cable, and it was in the water. That caused a short circuit. My father was ‘lingers’ on the electricity and had a heart attack. »

This made Mo’s mother extra protective for her son. « My mother was never allowed to replace a lamp. She was always scared and then said: » You know what happened to your father, « says Mo. The worst for Mo is that he has never been able to fully build a bond with his father. « When he died, I had just turned 18. But at that age you do tough and spend less time with your parents. Usually you only get that tire when you are in the twenties and get a little more mature. I find that the worst. »

The ‘house made’ adventure brings out the loss extra. « I certainly miss him. Especially at times such as a marriage, or now with ‘house made’, » it sounds. Iman also agrees. « You want to share that … but be sure: he is proud of you. »
