I continue to study, exercise with my dad, and live a life of repeating study and exercise every day. The biggest change is that I now go to the hospital twice a week instead of three. I suppose that means my body is getting a little better. I had a really hard time, my dad had a hard time, and the many people who helped me also went through a difficult time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">At first, my children and wife would say they were so relieved and happy just that I was alive. But as time goes on, I feel like I am becoming more of a burden to my family. My son seems to feel that Dad is no longer a helpful person, and he seems frustrated with me because he can&#8217;t understand what I say well. My wife also helps me, but I feel that it&#8217;s becoming too much and uncomfortable for her to take care of me on top of all the other things she has to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">There&#8217;s a saying, &#8220;<strong>three years of filial piety<\/strong>.&#8221; That&#8217;s right. There was that saying, but now even one year feels like a truly difficult time. In today&#8217;s world, a year feels so arduous. I also saw someone at the hospital. He worked and studied really hard for a year, but things didn&#8217;t work out for him. As a result, his relationship with his wife became difficult, and his work wasn&#8217;t going well, so it seemed he was suffering from depression. Of course, this is a natural progression, and seeing him, I too lived a life of oscillating between the hope of &#8216;I want to work again&#8217; and feelings of &#8216;I am depressed.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">One thing that has changed from before is that when the thought of &#8216;I must die&#8217; used to come up, I thought that my mom, dad, wife, and children didn&#8217;t exist. But now, I cannot bring myself to die when I think of my beloved family. Of course, words like &#8216;I must die&#8217; and &#8216;I want to die&#8217; do still come out. But it&#8217;s different from before, a new strength that has made me into a person who is so tired, depressed, angry, and truly helpless. Nevertheless, autumn has arrived. I have no idea what will happen to my life in the future, but time is passing by steadily. I hope my time will also get better quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2705 Simple, Repetitive Word Practice \u2013 Speech Support (English)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Washing machine Washing machine Washing machine Washing machine Washing machine Washing machine Washing machine Washing machine Washing machine Washing machine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Lemon Lemon Lemon Lemon Lemon Lemon Lemon Lemon Lemon Lemon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Towel Towel Towel Towel Towel Towel Towel Towel Towel Towel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Brush Brush Brush Brush Brush Brush Brush Brush Brush Brush<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Scissors Scissors Scissors Scissors Scissors Scissors Scissors Scissors Scissors Scissors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Cup Cup Cup Cup Cup Cup Cup Cup Cup Cup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Hammer Hammer Hammer Hammer Hammer Hammer Hammer Hammer Hammer Hammer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Pencil Pencil Pencil Pencil Pencil Pencil Pencil Pencil Pencil Pencil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Toilet paper Toilet paper Toilet paper Toilet paper Toilet paper Toilet paper Toilet paper Toilet paper Toilet paper Toilet paper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Helicopter Helicopter Helicopter Helicopter Helicopter Helicopter Helicopter Helicopter Helicopter Helicopter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Washing machine Washing machine Washing machine Washing machine Washing machine Washing machine Washing machine Washing machine Washing machine Washing machine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Monkey Monkey Monkey Monkey Monkey Monkey Monkey Monkey Monkey Monkey<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Snake Snake Snake Snake Snake Snake Snake Snake Snake Snake<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Fire truck Fire truck Fire truck Fire truck Fire truck Fire truck Fire truck Fire truck Fire truck Fire truck<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autumn is here now.
