Appreciate your loved one 🥀
Hello, This is Daffa writing again. This time I am not going to tell you a story about my trip but I want to share a Lil bit of my private life about the moments I lost my Grandfather on Saturday, 21st May 2022. I hope by reading this, you can know a Lil bit about me and You realized that you should appreciate every time with people that you loved like your parents, grandparents, siblings, soulmate, and your precious friends. I hope you enjoy reading this writing.
PS: If you read this, maybe you can use NEKKOYA (PICK ME) — Piano Version or Avicii — The Nights On Spotify as the soundtrack to feel the story.
Ever since my father passed away when I was 2 years old. My mom has to find a job and focus on having a career so I can get financial needs. Since my mother have to work I was raised by my Grandpa and he was taking care of me until I go to college.
On Saturday, 21st May 2022. My Grandpa (People that know him mostly call him Babe) passed away and It feels hurt to lose someone who is taking care of you since you were a baby. I wish I have more time with him, but people will be passed away eventually and I hope I get to meet him in “Jannah”.
The moment he is not in this world makes me realize every moment that I spend with him like when he was willing to drive to take me to my Junior High School and wait for me until school was over. Back then I feel irritated because I am not able to go hang out with my friends because he is pick me up to go home since my mom told him to but now I realized that was the best moment I can spend time with him with his irritated but wise advice 😅.
I also remember when he visited me when I was a freshman in college at least once a week because he knew that every time I had dinner on campus it was only rice and bakwan because it only cost 5 thousand rupiahs which is not good for your health if you only eat that. I did that to save money 😅. So he sent me the food that my grandmother cooked which is rendang, ayam goreng, and dendeng batokok. I was happy because I could eat well and save more of my money.
I am sharing this because of how much he was meant to me and I just realized every moment he was giving me good advice, sometimes we argue back then I was just a stupid teenager and I wish I want to listen to him more. Being 23 makes me wish he can give me some advice again for me now.
For those who read this story especially, people who know my gramps hope can give pray for him and I am sorry if “Almarhum” ever makes mistake when he’s alive. I am writing this with tears that suddenly fall from my eyes.
Till we meet in Jannah Gramps A.K.A Babe A.K.A Pitter Bin Zainali (22nd August 1948 — 21st May 2022)
