Hi Emily,

I'm the same as usal. I think everyday is the same day. One day seems like a long time but weeks and months seem to past by quicly. Time slips by so quickly. I'm in my mid forties and I've been married for ten years and my son is about to turn eleven. It took me two hours to drive to my mom's house in Daejong yesterday. I hadn't seen my mom in two months.  She is getting older and weaker. When I was young I was afraid of my mom because she was very strict. But nowadays, she just looks like a little old woman. It makes me unhappy. Two weeks ago she fell while walking through an elementary school playground near her house. Nonetheless, my mom cooked for me. I think my mom's cooking is the best in the world.  So I ate too much and I had to take medicine for my digestion. My father-in-law was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s a few month ago, and last month he had to go a care center. Last Sunday, he was taken to the hospital by an ambulance. His temperature was three degrees higher than normal. The doctor said it's beacause Alzheimer’s disease interferes with the ability to swallow and some food went into his lung and it increaded his temperature higer than normal. He is still at the hospital. I know men have to get old and die someday. Today I can't help stop thinking about death and life.
