This summer

I have been experiencing dizziness since mid-August.  The doctor said it may be because my nervous system was in disorder.  I'm much better now, but if I turn around quickly, I still feel dizzy badly.  There are no issues when I use public transportation or drive my car.  THE most challenging task for me is trimming trees.  I have never done this before, but I have to do it now because my father-in-law, who trimmed trees all the time, passed away on last New Year's Eve.

 This summer was the first summer without him.

Now I truly understand how hard he worked on the farm and in the garden. 


Miss him a lot

It's been a while since I wrote my last English essay here. I've been busy. Autumn is the only season I feel free and have enough time to read and write. I've started reading some English magazines.  The oldest one was printed  in 2014.   At that time my parents-in-law were still alive, but my mother-in-law passed away in 2016 and my father-in-law passed away last New Year's Eve.  Taking care of her was tiring because she had been sick in bed.  On the other hand, my father-in-law was energetic until he died.  My family misses him a lot.
