Lili's knit: At the end of the year

I knit 6 pairs of socks that I was asked to. It seems to endless that knitting for the family. I want to use summer knitting time more effectively next year. but lots of garden work.... What kind of year were you this year ? I pray that you have nothing sad.

I had a hard time, I myself became a disabled person. I am hearing impaired. The sound disappears from my world. There was a sign from before. However, there is a some kind of shock in receiving a disability certificate from the country. Symptoms is progressing , so it will be silent in 10 years in me. Sadly, I can't even remember the sound of rain. It is also sad that family and friends are sad for me. I strive for smooth communication, It is not easy. but I don't have a scary illness. There are various discounts in Japan to have disability. I am blessed to have a gently life.

Think of it is one test when a big problem happens. You will find something answer in suffering.

もう年末ですね。靴下やマフラーなどの消耗品を編むくらいしか今年はできませんでした。来年はもっと夏の時間も利用したいけど庭もあるしどうかしら。今年はどんな年でしたか？辛いことがなかったといいですが。

そういう私もハードなもので、とうとう障害者手帳もちとなりました。聴覚障害ですが、進行しているため、わずかに聞こえている音もあと１０年でなくなります。雨の音が思い出せないのも悲しいですが、まさかこの年で親を悲しませるとは思いもしないものです。音がしないためコミュニケーションがうまくできませんが、それ以外に大きな問題があるわけではない。穏やかに生きている、だけでも幸せなこと。そんなふうに今は考えています。何かと介抱してくれる夫にも感謝です。
