['A while ago, I needed a place to stay for the weekend while my parents took a trip. I was lucky enough that my friend offered me to stay at his home with his family for the duration.']

There was a time when my parents went out of town and I needed a place to stay for the weekend. My friend Bill offered me to stay at his place and his family were also okay with it.
