Ulog #01-Life: I come to say goodbye
It was still rainy outside, I just finished my dinner with family, rice and vegetable, simple dish for dinner. My phone was ringing one, I ignore it while I was talking to my little girl. Again, it was at the third, I picked up the phone and …, my sister called me from the hospital and informed me that my uncle just passed away a view minutes ago, heart attack. They were preparing to transport him from Banda Aceh to our hometown. I was shocked and started to think what to do next. I rang the rest of the family and the neighbor to inform about it. They came to my uncle's home 30 minute later and started to prepare his home for ceremony. It was like a dream, October 5th, 2018, his journey came to an end in a cloudy day..
My uncle and I were so close, I learn a lot of things from him, he was a really good carpenter, he expected me to be a carpenter as him, but I was not that good to do wood job. I like to do other kind of things. I respect him, as and uncle, mentor, and protector. He is the one who look after me when I was a kid and supported my study as well. I would never get any punishment or the pressure when I fail to get good reward of my math, but he would stand aside me and show me what was wrong with my homework. He was not a rich man, but he always provides me with what I need for school. He was the man who will tell me a tail story about the trees and wood, he taught me about the wood quality and basic calculation of wood materials and the function of each traditional tools.

I did not realize that my tear flow over my cheek. I come to the city and wait for him to arrive. The ambulance arrived at 3.15 in the early Saturday morning, I convoy them to his home, even there were my sister in the ambulance. We set him in his room and preparing the prayer in the morning when the other relatives and friends come to say goodbye.
Today, October 13th, is the seventh of his funeral, it means it has been seven day since he passed away. In our culture, when someone passed away we will pray for seven day and seven night at funeral home, and at the end of the day we will have little dinner together with family, close friend of him for the last prayer, we pray for him “May He rest in peace and may God bless him in his new life, aamiin!”.
He may have gone forever, but the memory of him remains for eternity. He has contributed tremendous amount generosity to me, his friends and his family. Rest In Peace, I come to your grave this evening to say goodbye.
