When My Dad Passed Away
It's been a long time a go since i wrote this blog. And now, i'm going to tell you guys about a little story that i used to remember every day. It was a story about my father's death. My dad has a really good sense of joke, he is kind, humble, and hard worker. He passed away on March 31. When people say that someone's death is unpredictable, i think that theory doesn't work on me. I predict my dad's death. My dad has suffered his illness for more than 5 years. He was a diabetics, he really loves sweet foods, candy, chocolate, he really loves sweet things. Until one day the doctor said that he is a diabetics. Since that day, mother always prevents my dad to eat sweet food and drinks. Even sometimes my dad broke that rules. He always love sweet things. I guess 2 years or 3 years ago, an accident happened to my dad. He almost loses his left leg. But Allah still gave him chance to walk and run. We always wish him to get a much better condition like every day. But dad's leg is getting worst each day. He did lots of surgeries. He did lots of therapies. My mother worked like so hard to pay my father's medical expenses. One therapy costs more than 3 times my mother's salary in a month. I have two brothers and they were still in college that time and i were in my high school. Dad's salary decreased so drastically when he's getting sick. So my mom had to work so hard to pay all of our school expenses and dad's medical expenses.
The last year of his life, almost every month he had to stay in the hospital to get more intensive treatment from the doctor. I said 'stay' not only check up and go home. Since that day, i do often ask my self, does Allah will no longer call my dad ?. Since that question always appears on my heart, i prepare my self to be stronger. Sadly, i couldn't keep him very well 24 hours bcs i studied in a boarding school and it's far from my city. What i can do was only praying. And we keep talking by phone. Sometimes dad and mom visited me in my boarding school, Not they come to me and say hi, but i had to come to the car and say hi because dad couldn't walk anymore. We did some chat in the car, it has shortly happened but it was very valuable. I remember his smile and his jokes, and the way he talks, and no, Im crying right now. Yass, i miss him. Suddenly. I miss you dad.
Until the day comes, March 31. In the boarding school, it's about 11 pm, someone called me and brought me home, he is my uncle. He didn't say that i had to come home because my dad passed away. He only said that my mom misses me so i had to join him to come home. But when we r no longer arrived, he asked me. "Richy, in the boarding school, do the teacher teach you to be patient?" I said yes. then he asked me again "In the boarding school, do your teacher teach you to be sincere?" I said yes. Then i said "We have to be patient and sincere especially when we lost something or someone we love" Then he said to me " im going to tell you that we go back home actually because your dad was just passed away. You have to be patient and sincere, now, let's meet your dad and say goodbye, I know you are strong"
Maybe some of you think that i was shocked, or even i cried. NO. I wasn't shocked and i didn't cry at all. Because i prepared my self. I make my self-stronger each day in my boarding school while i receiving calls from my mom and she said that my dad stayed in the hospital. so that's not a shocking news for me because i knew that Allah already missed him.
WHAT IM GOING TO TELL YOU IS, LOVE WHOEVER NICE TO YOU, LOVE WHOEVER MAKES YOU SMILE AND LAUGH, BECAUSE, IN FACT WE USED TO REALIZE HOW MUCH WE LOVE AND NEED SOMEONE IS WHEN WE LOSE THEM. START FROM NOW, LOVE YOUR FAMILY. NO ONE KNOWS WHEN WILL THEY PASSED AWAY.
