Losing You

Monday, January 23, 2012 the people of Indonesia in the lurch by an accident which claimed the lives of eight people in Jakarta. Here is a poem and the images made to commemorate one of the victims who died the scene (without any intention of us to ignore the other victims). A boy aged 2.5 years, who was traveling to Monas with his father, mother, aunt, and grandmother. May your soul and all those who died with you at that time accepted the side of God and the family left behind by him given fortitude.

father
thank you for asking me to Monas
I've never seen Monas
so glad my dad asked to see National Monument

That morning I picked up the mother
we walk with my father, grandmother and aunt
beautiful morning
weather was sunny
we walked together to Monas

We are all happy
rarely can we walk this way
father was busy making a living
I have long missed dad

father
suddenly we saw the black car
drifted from the front
rolling overwrite older sisters were
then befall us all
I was bouncing
regardless of mothers' arms

father
forgive me ahead of
I still really want to be with
want to play with you
wish to linger in your arms
but God is more loved
God wanted me to go home ...

father
thank you been trying hard to rescue
thanks've tried gave me drink
thanks already hugged me and kissed me
I love my father until whenever

father
we will meet again in nature far better than the natural world

Losing is not fun to experience. Moreover, we lost a very loved like that nice story above. Life and death is a mystery. Therefore we have no right to judge the situation, others, as well as time and place that we think is disastrous. It's heavy. But that's life. In the end, open heart and full of love that will lead us to be able to understand every event in life, including a loss.
