I called my mother this morning, and I found out that no one was home, but went to my beloved Uncle's house, he passed away this morning. The whole memories about him and my cousins, from the death of my father, my sister's wedding, when I was little and always came to his house to play, when he always teased my mother and my aunt every time he came to our home, when he and my father were like best buddies, when I was so proud of him, when I visited him to ask his approval for my 'diplomat' boyfriend at the old ages, 1996 at the hospital and at his house (no, he did not approve), when I saw his open heart surgeries, and millions nice memories about him. I am a big fan of him and I always will. Selamat jalan, Wak Andak.
