Right today, I got a phone call in the early morning and its wake me up.
That was my mom, and she said that her father is dead.
She told me just a couple days ago that my grandpa was sick, and now? She told me that he is gone now. What a surprise.....
My mom live just far far far away from her family, they all live in Riau and we live in Tangerang. My mom moved here when she was young, she moved cause she wants to be a nurse. How hard life is....she have to leave her family cause she want make her dream comes true. As long as I remember, I just know that she back home once, cause she have to spend a lot of money if she want to go to Riau. We just didn't have enough money to take all family members, so she decide to go by herself.
When I was a kid, my grandpa like to visited me and stay for a long time at home. He like to pick me up when I was in kindegarden with bycicle, and bought me a yellow snoppy bycicle...yeah, finally I have my own bycicle cause him. He really nice men, I love him. He took a good care of me, really good. He always bought me candies and everything that would make me happy, he even teach me how to make a kite!!!! But when I'm going to elementary school till finally he gone now, he never come to our home anymore.
My mom really sad right now cause she had a bad news on the phone, and its made me scare too. Why? Cause now I live far away from home too like she did. I took university in Semarang, it spend 8 hours with train but just 1 hour with airplane, but I usually used train cause its more cheap than plane (I know you know that).
I just scare that if one day, in early morning or maybe in a middle of the night, or maybe when I'm on the class my phone ringing, and its from one of my family and give me a bad news, what will happen to me? What can I do?
When my parents got sick, I just can't do anything to make them healthy or well, I can't take care of them. How sad it is....
Its a tough life to stay away from home, your parents, your family.
Treat them well as long as you can, and so do that to all people that you love...
Now rest in peace, Grandpa. I will always love, thanks for all love and the knowledge that you gave.
