to LOVE and to be Loved

These several days been spent with sad stories of Pak Ghozali passed away, Mr. Henry Savio following next... and then this morning I read that Rick Warren's son commit suicide!
Tears dripping from my eyes in a sudden...

Pak Ghozali, he was my high-school math teacher. He is the one that always encouraging me during any math lesson. Somehow he always believe that I can do any of those math complicated questions. You can do it Lusi! You just need to thing simpler! One day he even made a "jumping-gestures" to explain to me how "bilangan beraturan" works. And it really works! I can think simpler and ever since, math is my favourite ! ssstt.... I even help to teach math to a student whilst I was in Melbourne. The help may look small, but the trust from Pak Ghozali was BIG enough to boost up my confidence to the being I am now. Thanks to Pak Ghozali! May you rest in peace!

Mr. Henry Savio, the farther of Stanley Savio my school mates whom I knew recently because of Jessica's wedding. We share lots of testimony about our walk with God, how his dad was the one that bring the family to God, and also encouraging one another like friend should be. And one day he told me that his dad sick and ask me to pray for him. I wrote down Mr. Savio name in a prayer list, then pray for him. Months changing, Mr. Savio getting better, I had this funny habbit of keep on track the person I put on my prayer list, and writing down the improvement. Then finally, before the women conference in JPCC, Mr. Savio condition was at his best. And I said to stanley, time to move on... you are his son, keep praying for him. So I handed my prayer note to stanley ask him to continue, while I move on to other prayer. But then after long time never hear about Mr. Savio and I was too busy with work and with "late-night phone calls" myself, frankly no more energy to care like I used to *oucht*. I even hardly poke stanley just to ask how he is doing.... my bad.... then suddenly I saw a status mentioning RIP Stanley Savio's dad. Mr. Henry Savio, I havent met for real in person. But he has been in my dream! Weird huh? That time I told stanley and he laughed said: So in my wedding you can meet him for real to see is the person who came to my dream really Mr. Henry Savio or not. 
And yesterday after I went to adi jasa, stan asked: gimana niex mirip? 
Same round shaped face! In the dream Mr. Savio told some advices, good advices... it was weird dream indeed but Thanks to him for the advices! Farewell sir, see u in heaven!

Another struck came when I read the news that Rick Warren's son committed suicide.
Depression and mental illness are the cause. I don't know the guy, I don't even know the story of this family, but I read Rick's book and passed some of his book to friends. Yet, he got this huge shocking reality. Sad. 

And then after all these, I realised, this world really in huge need of love and care. Appreciation, word of encouragement and trust are rare these days. 
Just like Pak Ghozali did looooooooong time ago, maybe he,himself, didnt remember it. But I do! and Really appreciate it till now, even I still have the memory pictured in my head how he jump here n there try his best to explain to the-confusing-me! A little deed with huge everlasting value! And I bet he did that because he love us the student. His effort doesn't go to waste, and I'm proud to be one of his student!
Savio's story also another hit, where care in a friendship is something. Stanley even show his weaknesses instead of playing cool like he used to. He might thank me about willing to go to surabaya just to pay my last respect to his father, but actually he did bigger care before! Ya! He might not realised it, but during our two hours trip to Jessica's wedding, and spent one night there. He was driving all way long whilst me (who promised to "gantian nyetir" just sleeping all way long! *oucht*) Yet that time he just smiling and said, udah tidur ajah! sambil sesekali megangin AC yang rusak control-panelnya, soalnya kalo arahnya dinaikin ke atas trus ada gronjalan di jalan, itu AC langsung otomatis turun kebawah nyorot ke badanku and I will automatically woke up because too cold, sweet huh? Padahal tampang dia selalu sok cool begaya begundal tengik, but inside he care! So, yesterday I told him to be more simpler, alih2 kasih penghiburan malah ngomelin dia panjanggggg,  because I saw him kurus abis! chubbynya ilang, tampang yang kusut capek berbeban berat gituh. Perfeksionis mungkin yah, semua2 diurus sendiri, tanggung jawab di tanggung sendiri, udah gitu kalo sumpek masih pake sungkan untuk noel-noel sekedar curhat haiiiiiiizzzz... *Lewat bbm sih ngomelinnya, soalnya ada mertuanya dan calon istri disitu hahaha.... 

Lalu Matthew Warren suicide. wewwwwww..... langsung aku punya kesimpulan, siapapun kita ternyata kita semua suka diperhatikan dan being loved.
To love and to be loved is one huge need in today's world... oh no no... it's a huge need in any time! Let's care more and love more, you never know you might impacting someone life!
