Funeral Of A friend
January 17th, 2009 by facheaOne of the hardest thing to do is going to funeral of a friend.
You are sad of losing.
You dont know what to say to the family.
You just stand there, and say nothing..
Saya jadi ingat ada yang pernah bilang :
“Bila ingin tahu bagaimana seseorang disaat dia hidup, lihatlah bagaimana orang lain terhadapnya saat dia meninggal”
And its absolutely true.
Saat saya dirumah duka RS Husada, tempat teman saya, teman kita, Robin Hutagaol disemayamkan, saya melihat kesekeliling.. Teman-teman tidak berhenti berdatangan untuk mengucapkan salam terakhir kepada Robin.. Semua orang berbicara dan mengenang tentang Robin.. Teman dekat maupun jauh punya kenangan tentang Robin.. Setiap perkataan, perlakuan dan tindakannya diingat dengan baik oleh semua orang.. Everyone has a nice thing to say bout him..
Robin was a good man, a good son, a good husband, and definitely a good friend..
Rasanya pantas bila kita semua mengangkat topi untuk Robin, our metal ambassador.
Selamat jalan, Bin.. I’m sure you’ll be remembered forever.
“The Spirit Carries On” by Dream Theater
Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?
They say “Life is too short”
“The here and the now”
And “You’re only given one shot”
But could there be more
Have I lived before
Or could this be all that we’ve got?
If I die tomorrow
I’d be alright
Because I believe
That after we’re gone
The spirit carries on
I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
I’m not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend
I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try
If I die tomorrow
I’d be alright
Because I believe
That after we’re gone
The spirit carries on
“Move on, be brave
Don’t weep at my grave
Because I’m no longer here
But please never let
Your memories of me disappear”
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has help me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victoria’s real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that I’m here
It’s perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means
If I die tomorrow
I’d be alright
Because I believe
That after we`re gone
The spirit carries on
