One of the most memorable and saddening events in my life is when my grandfather died. It was two days before my birthday when I found out he was dead. He was in Dungarang while I was in Jakarta, just having fun at home and doing all the things I needed to do. Then I got a phone call from my uncle, who spoke in a very shocking tone, saying that my grandfather had fallen and was brought to the hospital. Of course, that gave me a lot of shock and made me dizzy in that moment. My father, my mother, and I went to the hospital. When I saw my grandfather's body laid down in the hospital bed, it was very still. There was a large cut between his eyes, indicating that he had fallen and hit a stone exactly there. I was overwhelmed, and suddenly tears started streaming down my face. I think I will never forget that experience of seeing someone I loved pass away in front of my eyes. It was very memorable yet shocking and saddening at the same time.
