Our house renovation is still going on.  I wonder when it'll be completely ready for occupation again. For now, my wife and I are staying in our eldest son's house, about 7 km from our house.  In this house, we have a room availed to us; quite comfortable and my wife can cook too which makes the grandchildren happy.  Eating in the shop is not too appetising - nothing like home cooking.
On 3rd Dec, my brother-in-law died.  He was 84.  His wife, who is my elder sister died just a few months earlier.  She was 79. My wife and I attended their funeral.  The passing of a close family is always very sad.  However, many old relatives, in-laws came to attend the funeral and we have a chance to meet each other. After that, we all go our different ways. Life must go on.
