I always regard myself as the luckiest person in this world…it’s becoz til i’m 28 yrs old past a month and 8 days (today is actually my bro’s bday…)i still have grandparents from my mom’s side…
Before, i never thought dat they’ll be getting older and as human, someday they’ll be back to HIS house up there…my grandpa got diabetic mellitus since i was in elementary school, then stopped smoking when found getting a coronary problem (i accompanied him doing the heart bypass surgery in 1997)…he never had anything serious until last 2 month…his health is dropping so fast and no one, even our family doctor, can predict before.
He was a basketball player in his younger age, until my grandma had my 1st auntie (the children are 7 altogether, my mom is the 2nd child, and my 1st aunt is the 5th child). He almost went to Singapore as a basketball player, but my great grandma forbid him, so he stopped playing it. His bad habbit which led him getting a diabetic mellitus was dat every time finished the game, he always had a es teh manis (sweet ice tea) in a big glass(the same as Macd’s large cup)…always…
As his 1st grandchild, obviously i became his favourite grandchild. When i was around 3-5yrsold, he often brought me to the vihara where he is becoming the member of the commitee (well, he IS til now). His friends always told dat i was actually his daughter, not his grandchild…
Recently, i tried to remember anything about him…his good, his bad (well, in my mind he always be my hero, though sometimes i heard some bad things he’d done when he’s young, coz in my acknowledge,he’s never done one…well, men do have a past…dont we?)…but, i really upset to myself, coz apparently i dont know him really well…
I dont know what he’s fave colours are, what his fave movies are, what his past time love story (before met my grandma i mean…^^)was, etc, etc…boy, i really forget dat my grandparents were young before…
Well, at least, i have asked him 3 weeks a go…my last visit to Malang…what is his fave colour…so shamefull of me…he loves dark brown and deep dark blue, he said he loves all dark colour…I remember after asked the colour-question, we talked about Lapindo’s Mud which till now is still unsolved…
I promise if God still let him live longer, i will spend more time with him, ask him the lingering question in my head, introduce him to Jesus’s love, so dat we can meet again at the end of the days…(current news: he is put in the i.c.u for suddenly his body temperature got high)…
