My reaction when I heard the Grandmother's Death

Yesterday, on the way to Kaliurang, Yogyakarta, the rain was coming down, it was not too heavy. Five times, I and the younger brother stopped taking shelter cause the rain sometimes stopping, then rain again. 

We went to Kaliurang to attending the gathering night (Malam Keakraban) of Duta Toraya, where I was invited as a speaker. I would give motivation for new students from Toraja.  

We were taking shelter in one place, it was warung, no one seller there. During waiting the rain was stopped, I opened facebook, on the feed I viewed one status from the family relative about saying Rest in Peace to Nenek Bua' (Nenek means Grandma). Directly, I told my younger brother, he did not believe it was our grandma, our grandma still looked healthy. 

I was thinking about grandma, was that her? I still wanted to meet her and asking for blessing prayer for me. I did not believe, but I was curious about the feed on facebook. 

On the afternoon, there was a tagged status from my cousin about the death of our grandma. It was really her. I was sad, and thinking her prayers especially for me. Next, I saw grandma photo, I saw her smiled, I was very happy to see that photo, I know she was in Heaven now. 

I salute my grandma as a strong woman, he is very amazing, I love to hear how she prayed for her children's and grandchildren. We ever lived in one home, while gathering to eat together she leading prayer. 

On July 2016, I was back home to prepare my test for an to accompany. I met her at uncle home, I visited her with the younger brother. I spoke to her many things and the best moment when she prayed for us. I love her prayer in Bahasa Toraja, not in Bahasa Indonesia. 

Thank you grandma who is in heaven now with Christ Jesus, you have given such an inspiration to me.
