VILLAGE TRIPS

Last November, I went again to a neighbouring island to do medical clinics in the remote villages.   This time we had a team from Australia joining us so technically I (with my 2 other friends) went in a ‘translator’ role rather than running the clinics; but thankfully we are all flexible as we ending up playing both roles. 

HIGHLIGHTS:

1. Part of this team was a dentist and 2 x dental assistants.  Although at first there was MUCH fear of him and very few patients, but the word soon got out that he was a good dentist and gentle…. From then on he was inundated with patients and regularly had people coming to the house to look for him. 

Sadly on the rare occasion locals have travelled to find a dentist, the dentists (according to their stories) seem to be more like butchers and extremely rough…hence the fear.  Many beliefs of ‘if you get a tooth pulled you will go blind’ or ‘after tooth pulling you become sick and vomit for a couple of days’.  Thankfully no such horror was caused by our Australian dentist.

2. Who’s itchy???  2.5 years ago when we first started going into this area ALMOST everyone was itchy ... scabies, fungal infections of the skin or masses of tiny wounds from unknown causes.  2.5years ago on our first visit around 80 people were treated for scabies and this last time in November there was LESS than 20 people treated for scabies J

One of the main leaders in that area shared his story to us.  2.5years ago everyone in his family was itchy.  Since then, each time we‘ve visited we have treated them and given simple education on how to prevent and stop the spread of scabies. Earlier on they would get healed but then after a few weeks or 1 month the scabies would return. BUT each time they would stay healthy a bit longer before the scabies came back. Last November he was PROUD to say that after 6months since our last visit he and his family were STILL ALL HEALTHY!

 

3. Our dear friend who has had the large open wound on his thigh for over 2 years…. HE IS ALMOST 100% HEALED!! There were many religious ceremonies at that time and I first met him in a neighbouring village.  He came up to me with a BEAMING smile and sat beside me.  He then very quickly (so others did not see it – it was previously it was a cause of great shame to him and he’d not been allowed to attend prayer or ceremonies as he was considered ‘unclean’) lifted his traditional sarong to show me his leg. He had only 2 small open areas remaining about 1.5cm in diameter.  It was AMAZING to see the wound so small and even more GREAT to see him walking normally again.

                                     

 

GOD’S  AMAZING  PROVISION  &  BLESSINGS

(…… or Ripleys Believe It or Not) J   A HOUSE plus more

Have you ever wondered? ? 

a-      if there is a time when “the blessings of God actually become a ‘not blessing’?”    

      OR

b-    Been so overwhelmed with the speed that blessings arrive that you almost wish they’d stop?

But then you realize how stupid it would be to pray that, so instead you pray “God can you please slow down a bit?  I need time to catch my breath.

 

Both of these were a first time experience for me last October - Within 3 weeks Agung & I received

* a large amount of furniture and household items

* we were offered a great house, at a great price … in which we are now living!

* a large financial gift to cover a yearly leash on a house

 

Blessing #1 - A LOT of Furniture - A friend of Agungs had to return to the States unexpectedly and decided rather than trying to sells everything within 2 weeks he would give it away and be a blessing to others who needed things.  Agung & I were special in that he wanted us to have a number of things as ‘our early wedding gift’ from him.  Huge blessing for us!  We had very little furniture & not a lot of $$ to go shopping with.  BUT the STRESS comes when there is a time limit and NO WHERE to store anything!!!  At that time Agung was back studying for a short time living in a dorm and I was in my single rented room.  WHAT,WHERE & HOW???  The stress of it all almost became too much …hence it began to feel like a ‘not blessing’; but we managed to divide everything between a number of friends till December…pheww! 

Blessing #2 – the HOUSE-  At this point we decided we really needed a house NOW and not 3-4 months after marriage as originally planned as we had been asked to house-sit for friends till March this year.  But why live for free when you have to find & pay for storage?

The day we collected the furniture, the dining table/chairs were designated to live on my front porch covered in plastic to protect from rain.  That night as we gave thanks for the food a one sentence request was added, “God you know we need a house, please help….we have no idea”.  Agung has a more childlike faith then I, ‘God &/or Bible says, we pray & it will happen’.  I’m a little more cynical/logical so to speak…’things don’t always happen overnight, we’ll need to spend some time praying before the answer comes’.  Haha we are both learning from each other…. and Ouch… I had a gentle reminder again that God doesn’t need us to do more or prayer more before He gives us things, He gives because He loves us and like any good Father delights in blessing His children.

The very next morning I step out of my room the owner of my room is wildly gesturing me to come.  He just heard from his daughter that we needed a house; and there is a house just up the hill next to his son. J  We looked…a nice house, 2 rooms, dining, kitchen, living area, a cool roof area and a GREAT price (16million rupiah per year).…. But we had no money to pay a year up front as required.

Blessing #3 – A lot of rupiah - I’d just paid for my visa etc so was penniless and Agung had 1 million….HMMMMM  house hunting with no money makes you feel kinda foolish, but again I had felt God say ‘how can I give you a house if you’re not looking’.  Then about 1.5weeks later I get a Txt message from an Indonesian lady I know saying this “I have just transferred 25 million rupiah to your account.  I hope you receive it well.”  A large dose of shock and then some rejoicing…and no my first words were NOT ‘thank you Jesus’ J hehehe but my second phrase was  ‘oops sorry God, did I just say that??….and thank you’.

– Regarding the 25million rupiah.  This amazing woman as she obeyed what God spoke to her has enabled us to start our married life DEBT FREE!  The only other way possible for us to get a house was to borrow and then pay back; and this God knows I dislike greatly.  We have now paid cash and are able to save money for next years lease.

 

Blessing #4 – small wedding related things.

We choose a small local hotel for the wedding…Hiring cost of venue per person 45,000 ($7nzd) for food.  About 2weeks before the wedding, I was talking to my tailor who was quote 80,000 p/prsn for that same hotel.  The poor lady couldn’t understand how a ‘white person’ got a better price than a local….neither do I, we laughed and I told her it must be a blessing from God to which she agreed.

 All marriages in Indonesia must first have a religious ceremony and then a government/civil wedding to be legal.  The cost of the legal process including a government worker coming to your venue to do the civil ceremony is 1.5 million, this was told to us by several mixed-culture newly-weds and our pastor.  We were charged 750,000 thousand…why?? No idea, but maybe because I speak the language and we both do social work…did they give us the local price?? Not sure J just thankful!

TIME WITH FAMILY  …… and ….. THE WEDDING!

I was truly blessed in having 7 members of my family came over to Bali for our Wedding J Mum & Dad, 2 sisters Sheryl & Julie and 3 nieces Tatyana, Olivia & Grace.  They arrived 10 days early so were able to have some quality time and some extra hands, my own personal hairdresser (Julie) and my flower/decoration designer (Sheryl). Check out the NZ touch on the flowers-I LOVED IT!

 

 

The Wedding Day went well….I felt relaxed and enjoyed it, we had time to eat and chat with people, and most importantly were LEGALLY married J  We had a kids corner, a funky gardening themed cake and the guest book was fingerprinting the border of a canvas print. 

                                     

                                     

 

AFTER THE WEDDING …. I think they call it a ‘honeymoon’ J

I think we definitely took the ‘traditional’ Indonesian version of this and spent with family; but absolutely NO COMPLAINTS as we had invited my family to stay longer if they wished.  Seriously if you are going to pay big money for a ticket you may as well make the most of it.  Half my family went home 2 days after the wedding and the other half stayed till Christmas Day as cheaper to fly then.  We had a great time with my sister and nieces and played chauffeur for them.  Some have laughed at the thought of spending your honeymoon with family, but Agung & I got to see and do things that we would never have done otherwise.  So THANKS HEAPS to Julz and the girls!

Agungs’ father suffered from a stroke 2 days before the wedding which left him paralyzed on his left side.  His parents had just arrived in Bali the day before the stroke and were staying in the north with Agungs sister and family.  Due to this only his Mother and brother in law attended the wedding from Agungs side while his sister stayed with Dad. 

 

Some hospitals here give very little care in cases like this especially at the small remote hospital Dad was in.  It’s actually quite a new hospital, but nothing of the standards we take for granted in New Zealand.  There are no resources for testing, nothing fancy; just beds, simple meals, an x-ray, small pharmacy and an internal medicine specialist that visits once day and no comments on him or his bedside manner. If all you need is an IV stuck in your arm and to take pills 3 x day it’s an ok hospital, but no further care or education/help is given.

 
A couple of days after the wedding we help organize for Mum & Dad to return to Java where Mum would continue to care for Dad at home.  She really had no idea what that would entail, but I take my hat off to her.  Java for her was a better place for her to be as she has friends there and it is home. Also she sells traditional cakes at the market every morning (3am-9am) and her buyers were threatening to buy elsewhere if she didn’t return.  Mum had wanted Agung & I to travel back with them but sadly we could not due to my family still being here.

After my family left at Christmas, we headed by bus to Semarang in Java. That experience in itself is worth a full page of its own J but I won’t.  Let’s just say there are always delays, often VERY long; and it has been said that you ‘take your own live into your hands’ or maybe you ‘put your live into their (the drivers) hands’ when you travel by bus. It can be pretty hair raising at times!

 It’s a 16-24hour ride and we arrived on Monday the 31^st.  The plan was just a short trip to see how Dad & Mum were doing and leave on the Thursday afternoon as we were back to work the following Monday.  Strangely we only bought tickets one way and then later even more strangely no return tickets were available till the Saturday afternoon. 

Dad was worse than expected when we arrived (mum had kept the news positive) but he was still doing ok.  We bought him a wheelchair so that ‘quality of life’ could be better and enjoyed more than 24/7 on the floor.  Sadly though he only used it twice as he had high fever Wednesday night and then went downhill fast and passed away on Thursday.  We had the wake & then funeral on Friday and then headed home to Bali on Saturday.  All in all ‘Thanks God J He knows best and His timing is perfect’.  We are thankful that tickets could not be found for Thursday or we would have not been there when Dad passed away.  The wake and funeral process was a delight also.  EVERYONE worked together in harmony, talked freely about God and Dad going to Heaven OR the Will of Allah, we ate together; the Muslim family and friends respectfully observed the Christian worship & protocols and we went together and buried our dead together….all religions standing side by side.

THIS YEAR & THINGS TO COME

Agung continues with his role as soccer coach with the local kids in Jimbaran.  The club is run be my old NGO and with help from Agungs church.   They have training/games 3 x a week and join competition about every 3months.  The heart is not just to teach soccer (which is a MUCH loved sport – it is the RUGBY of Indonesia) but to mentor and encourage the children to have dreams for the future, to prepare the next generation.  Teaching them also Biblical values and morals, to be fair, honest, caring for others, being faithful in what you do ++. 

He will also rejoin and co-lead the monthly trips to Lombok where he works under the NGO ‘World Relief’ and teaches Disaster Risk Reduction in villages.

 

(ME) – learning to juggle the new role of wife.  I’m glad to say I have a great husband who helps around the house heaps, BUT ultimately I have a new responsibility of caring for the house, cooking, shopping, cleaning and just being there to support Agung.  I have restarted one of my teaching groups and will add the others in February when my friend Shirley returns.  All up I’ll have 4 x English groups, 1 x basic education group (reading, writing & math in Indonesian to a family that is unable to go to school.  With 2 of these groups Agung will join me and do story telling (values) and mentoring.  The compromise to make room for the new wife role is only teaching each group 1 x week now instead of the previous 2 x week.

 I am currently running a crash course on Primary Healthcare for an Australian friend Emily who works in a kids home just up the hill.  I’m teaching her 2 x week until the end of January.  It’s really nice to teach healthcare in my own language for a change J and I’m really excited about these classes; firstly she will use this knowledge a lot in the kids home and secondly I see it as multiplication.  As she cares for the kids she is also teaching and showing them new ways.

 In February I will do another ‘healthcare crash course’ but this time for only 1 day.  Emily has a friend who is shortly marrying a Papuan and will be returning to live in his village.  They will be passing through Bali and would like to learn as much as she can in the short time she’s here.  Again another opportunity for multiply and give life-saving skills to someone who will be using them daily.  May she and her husband be a great blessing to his village. The training day will go fast but much time is needed for the preparation and making of resources for her to take with her.

Lari-Lari Babi.

Seringkali kita mendengar tentang jogging atau dalam bahasa saya adalah “lari-lari babi” J merupakan olah raga yang gampang, hemat biaya dan bisa di lakukan dimanapun kapanpun oleh siapapun, betul enggak? Ah anyway asalkan lari-lari babi ini di lakukan dengan cara yang baik dan benar maka dari itu dapat memberikan sesuatu yang baik bagi kesehatan tubuh kita. Berikut ini kesimpulan yang saya dapatkan dari  beberapa pernyataan dan manfaat dari olah raga jogging dari beberapa sumber : Peneliti menemukan bahwa kita tidak perlu mencoba latihan ekstrem nan mahal untuk bisa hidup sehat. Jogging dengan kecepatan lambat atau rata-rata untuk satu atau dua jam bisa meningkatkan harapan hidup pria 6,2 tahun dan wanita 5,6 tahun, serta mengurangi risiko kematian sebesar 44 persen. Para Peneliti juga percaya bahwa lari-lari babi dapat memberikan manfaat kesehatan ganda seperti meningkatkan pengambilan oksigen, menurunkan tekanan darah, mencegah obesitas, meningkatkan fungsi jantung dan meningkatkan fungsi psikologis dan manfaat banyak lagi.

Tidak hanya itu saja, saya juga mendapati beberapa manfaat serupa di atas yang diperoleh dengan rajin jogging yaitu:

1.      Meningkatkan daya kekebalan tubuh, ini sangat penting supaya kita tidak mudah terserang penyakit ringan misalnya seperti flu.

2.      Mengurangi stress, jogging dapat membuat pikiran kita lebih santai dan menjadikan penghilang stress jangka panjang.

3.      Menjaga kesegaran badan dan siap menjalani aktivitas, lari-lari babi membuat paru-paru tubuh terisi oleh udara segar melalui pernapasan, sehingga memberikan kehidupan yang lebih sehat untuk sel-sel darah di dalam tubuh serta menciptakan koordinasi yang baik antara pikiran dan jiwa.

4.      Menjaga berat badan dan memperbesar otot, selain dapat menurunkan berat badan, jogging atau lari-lari babi ini dapat meningkatkan komposisi tubuh dan membantu membangun otot sehingga menjadikan postur tubuh kita tetap ideal.

5.      Menjaga jantung kita tetap sehat, sayangilah jantung kita dengan rutin melakukan lari-lari babi maka kesehatan jantung kita akan tetap terjaga.

Jadi apakah kita percaya akan semua itu? Benarkah hasil penelitian dari para peneliti yang entah siapa mereka itu betul-betul dapat di percaya kebenarannya? Lalu apakah manfaat-manfaat tersebut diatas bisa kita dapatkan ketika kita melakukannya? Ah terseraaaah…boleh kita percaya atau kita menolaknya dan menganggap angin lalu saja J bebaslah hidup kita ini kawan J…tapi …tapi…tapi…dan tapi lagi J tidak ada salahnya juga kalau kita menaruh pikiran positif dalam hidup kita dan mencoba percaya akan hasil penelitian dan manfaat dari lari-lari babi, toh itu semua positif buat kita. Hmmm…saya mau bercerita J awal-awal hidup di Bali saya tinggal di rumah keluarga Amerika kurang lebih 6 bulan lamanya, tentunya saya sedikit banyak tahu akan aktivitas dari keluarga ini dan yang menjadi sorotan saya adalah kebiasaan baik Ibu dari rumah kami yang bernama Ibu Carol Butera, yaitu setiap hari beliau selalu membuat raganya di olah J dengan metode “selang-seling” yaitu hari ini jogging besok berenang lalu keesokan harinya kembali jogging dilanjutkan berenang lagi dan semua itu di lakukannya dengan rutin dan penuh komitmen maka hasilnyapun tampak sekali bahwa beliau selalu tampak sehat dan segar walaupun usianya sudah melewati setengah abad. Saya pikir pasti beliau akan berkenan dan siap kalau di ajak tanding lari marathon dengan kita J info tambahan : saya pernah jogging bareng beliau dari pantai seminyak sampai pantai kuta Bali bolak-balik, hasilnya beliau lari konsisten dan melahap semua trek lalu hasil buat saya adalah lari tidak konsisten, nafas tersedak-sedak dan setengah trek pulang balik dengan jalan kaki loyo akhirnya di overlap lagi sama ibu Carol L.

Dari pengalaman tersebut, karena tahu itu kebiasaan yang baik maka sayapun mengadopsi kebiasaan itu untuk hidup saya…gak rugilah kalau kita adopsi kebiasaan-kebiasaan baik yang kita temui di hidup ini untuk kita, karena yang pasti hasilnya juga akan pasti baik untuk hidup kita…sampai dengan saat ini “Thank God” lari-lari babipun selalu menghiasi hidup saya, semenjak sudah tidak tinggal dengan keluarga Amerika, dari mulai hidup sendiri lalu pacaran dan sampai menikah itu selalu ada…dan semoga ini bisa menjadi olah raga keluarga saya kelak sampai anak cucu karena murah meriah wuhahahaha. Dan juga faktor keberuntungan lain yang menjadikan kebiasaan itu eksis yaitu saya tinggal di Jimbaran dimana lokasinya strategis untuk mendapatkan trek lari-lari babi yang indah menawan hati seperti trek pantai Jimbaran ( dari hotel four season sampai landasan bandara Ngurah Rai ), trek pantai Kuta, trek pantai Nusa Dua, trek Tanjung Benoa, trek perbukitan di Garuda Wisnu Kencana dan trek persegi panjang lapangan sepak bola. Semoga dan semoga saya tetap terus konsisten akan kebiasaan ini…J 

trek GWK

 

Nusa Dua

 

Water blow Nusa Dua

Landasan Ngurah Rai

 

Lalu apa hasilnya buat saya setelah melakukan lari-lari babi? Sepertinya belum tampak hasilnya bagi perut saya hahahahahahahahah karena perut saya masih besar gendut menawan, tapi setidaknya untuk flu sudah sangat jarang sekali ada di hidup saya dan hasil lainnya membuat tubuh dan pikiran jadi segar…tapi kadang-kadang lari-lari babi malah membuat saya jadi capek dan akibatnya membuat malas beraktivitas lalu memilih tidur seharian wukakakakak…..( tapi mari berpikir lagi untuk melakukannya dengan cara yang baik dan benar untuk hasil yang maksimal J ). Dan yang pasti manfaat besar yang langsung saya dapatkan adalah “good quality time” bersama istri saya <3 <3 <3. So baiklah…dari pembacaan seputar jogging dan pengalaman yang saya jumpai: saya belajar untuk marilah kita membudayakan kebiasaan-kebiasaan yang menurut kita itu baik adanya dalam hidup ini, tetaplah konsisten akan hal itu dan mari kita percayai sesuatu yang baik sudah menunggu di depan kita. Salam lari-lari babi.

Akibat salah strategi jogging

 

Sampai bertemu kembali bapakku

2 hari! Itu yang saya ingat akan masa yang menceritakan peristiwa yang terjadi antara saya dengan bapak saya. 2 hari tepatnya tanggal 13 Desember 2012 sebelum melangsungkan pesta pernikahan saya (15 Desember 2012 ), bapak jatuh sakit terkena serangan stroke yang mengakibatkan separuh badan sebelah kiri tidak bisa di gerakkan dan harus di rawat inap di rumah sakit di daerah Bali selama kurang lebih 7 hari yang membuat beliau tidak bisa menghadiri acara pernikahan saya tersebut. Karena keinginan yang kuat dari Ibu dan saudara-saudara saya untuk merawat bapak di Semarang ditambah mendapatkan ijin dari dokter bisa keluar dari Rumah Sakit, maka bapak saya di bawa pulang ke Semarang untuk perawatan dan pengobatan lebih lanjut. Dari Bali Saya dan istri terus up date tentang keadaan bapak dan menyempatkan diri kami pulang ke semarang untuk menengok dan merayakan tahun baru bersama, tanggal 31 Desember 2012 kami tiba di sana dan kamipun menikmati waktu-waktu bersama keluarga besar di Semarang juga menikmati waktu merawat dan berbicara dengan bapak. Tahun barupun berlalu…tapi bapak masih saja  belum mendingan..3 hari setelah melewati pergantian tahun beliau tutup usia di usia 70 tahun dimana 2 hari lagi saya merayakan hari jadi saya ( 5 Januari ). Sedih? Tentu kami semua sangat sedih. Kamipun belum memahami benar akan maksud semua peristiwa ini, akan tetapi kami bersyukur sama Tuhan dan meyakini semua ini mendatangkan kebaikkan bagi kami semua.

Melalui kesempatan ini saya mau bercerita tentang bapak saya, bukan cerita bagaimana Beliau meninggal akan tetapi cerita bagaimana Beliau hidup J. Bapak saya lahir dari keluarga petani di daerah Klaten Jawa Tengah, lahir sebagai anak terakhir dari 10 bersaudara dan mengenyam pendidikan sampai dengan Sekolah Rakyat ( sekarang Sekolah Dasar ). Hampir seluruh masa muda Beliau habiskan dengan menggeluti pekerjaan kasar sebagai buruh bangunan. Pekerjaan tersebut membawa beliau keliling kota-kota lain sesuai dengan proyek pekerjaan yang di dapatkan atasan Beliau pada saat itu, dan saya pernah mendengar Beliau pernah sampai ke Jakarta dan daerah Sumatra.  Dari pekerjaan tersebut mempertemukan Beliau dengan kekasihnya ( emak saya ) yang dari Purworejo Jawa Tengah. Setelah bertahun-tahun berkelana sebagai buruh bangunan, beliau memutuskan untuk rehat dan menetap di Semarang karena pada saat itu ada saudara yang tinggal di Semarang yaitu Pak De saya, karena tidak punya keahlian lainnya maka Beliau tidak mendapatkan pekerjaan dan memutuskan untuk membantu istrinya yang menekuni usaha pembuatan kue tradisional untuk menghidupi keluarga sampai akhir hayatnya.

Apakah Beliau seorang bapak yang baik? Hmmmm….kita punya penilaian yang berbeda-beda tapi yang pasti jawaban saya adalah Beliau sudah berusaha untuk memberikan yang terbaik. Berusaha untuk rajin membantu ibu saya, rajin bersih-bersih lingkungan dalam dan luar rumah, selalu menanak nasi untuk keluarga, mengisi tempayan dan bak kamar mandi, rajin mengikuti kegiatan-kegiatan yang ada di lingkungan masyarakat bahkan rajin “menghajar” anak-anaknya yang kelewat bandel J saya ingat waktu kecil kira-kira umur 10 tahun saya di hajar habis-habisan karena menghacurkan banyak batu bata dengan kungfu saya yang rencananya batu bata tersebut akan digunakan untuk menambah kamar di rumah kami, karena tingkah saya itu Beliau memukul saya dan selanjutnya me- “smackdown” saya ke lantai lalu duduk di badan saya dalam waktu yang lama, ronta tangisan sayapun tidak Beliau hiraukan J saya sempat dendam dan mengatakan tunggu pembalasan saya kalau saya sudah besar dan kuat saya akan balas perbuatan ini!  Akan tetapi dendam saya tidak terjadi melainkan pengampunan yang saya berikan : sekali lagi bapak saya hanya berusaha berbuat yang terbaik untuk mendidik saya, akan tetapi Beliau tidak memahami apakah cara tersebut tepat atau kurang tepat. Baik singkat cerita tentang kisah hidup bapak saya akan saya tutup dengan kisah yang kurang lebih dimulai 2 tahun lalu sebelum Beliau meninggal, ya kurang lebih 2 tahun lalu dari sekarang…Bapak saya mengalami “perjumpaan” dengan Tuhan dimana dari pengalaman tersebut banyak mengubahkan hidupnya. Saya memang tidak melihat langsung kehidupan Bapak saya karena saya sudah tinggal di bali sejak 2 tahun lalu tapi saya mendengar langsung dari kesaksian-kesaksian teman-teman beliau yang menghadiri ibadah penghiburan meninggalnya bapak kami di rumah kami Semarang. Kesaksian-kesaksian tersebut menceritakan bahwa Beliau orang yang rajin mengikuti kegiatan ibadah-ibadah, rajin mengikuti seminar-seminar yang bisa meng-upgrade diri Beliau untuk bisa menjadi seorang pria yang mengasihi keluarganya, senang menceritakan sesuatu yang baik kepada orang lain, rajin membantu orang lain dan selalu tidak ingin di merepotkan sesama, dan yang membuat saya bersukacita sekaligus trenyuh adalah Beliau bercerita kepada teman-temannya bahwa Beliau rindu melihat istri dan anak-anaknya mengalami “perjumpaan” dengan Tuhan yang mengubahkan hidup mereka semua dan yang nantinya membuat mereka semua setia pada jalan-Nya karena itulah jalan yang benar dan satu-satunya. ….hmmmm I already missed Him so much L baik Bapak, ini doa saya : saya dan keluarga ingin terus mengalami perjumpaan dengan Tuhan dalam hidup kami dan mendedikasikan seluruh keluarga saya beserta isinya untuk terus setia berjalan dalam jalan Tuhan dan juga berdoa semua ini terjadi pada anggota keluarga kita lainnya. Amen. Akhir kata saya bahagia dan bangga melihat perubahan besar dalam hidup bapak, bagi saya hidup bapak sudah mengajar dan menginspirasi saya untuk menjadi bapak yang baik untuk istri dan anak-anak saya kelak..you are good and you gave the best that you could! Saya percaya Bapak sudah di tempat terbaik bersama Bapa di Surga. Kami mengasihimu dan akan terus mengenangmu bapak. See you some day Buddy.
