Fritz recently 4 years 4 months

This week, we didn't much do as I was busy with my online shop. There's lots of things to be done as last week I was totally spend days at the funeral home. 

Reading Eggs

Today, we had a replacement test in Reading Eggs. Finally we could join with Reading Eggs with special price for homeschoolers. I really wanted to say thank you to one of my homeschooler's friend, Kak Ophie. I joined with Reading Eggs only for 200K rupiah.

As we had new account, Fritz needed to have a test first and the result was he's in level 6. Great!

We had a bad news, Pothai passed away. So during this week, we had to spend few days in funeral house. So sad not having her with us anymore. Mourning week...

Fritz learnt lots of things during this funeral. It's gonna be his first time seeing dead body. He knew that Pothai had passed away, means she slept forever and met Jesus in heaven {though he doesn't know the meaning of heaven exactly}. He was so curious when Pothai was being put in the coffin. He looked into the coffin and saw the ceremony. It's a learning for him.

For three days, he spent his whole days with his uncles, aunties and grandparents. He absolutely was so happy playing along the days with them. Learns to know more about family. 

Another lesson that he got was cremation. Pothai was being burried with her coffin. Waiting for her ashes and releasing her in the sea. 

May God bless her in heaven till we meet again....love you, Pothai....

Her condition was not really good since April. She's getting thinner days by days and had refused to eat any food or even milk. She looked totally weak. She even couldn't move her body anymore. She's really needed help in everything. I think it's the best time for her to go. 

After I heard that news, I said to Ali that I wanted to go to his uncle's house to see her. I really wanted to see her for last time. When I almost arrived, I saw her uncle's car went out from his way. He said to me that Popo had been gone away with ambulance to Jelambar, the funeral home. He asked me whether I wanted to join with his car or just went there by myself. I preferred to go there by my bike.

I rushed to Jelambar hoping to see her for the last. Badly, she had already in mortuary. I didn't have any brave to see her corpse there, I was too coward :p. So I waited with the rest of family talking about the procedure this and that then we went home as we couldn't do many things till Iie came from Hongkong.

Popo is my mom in law's mom. She has 4 siblings. Her big sister, Iie Ahan, Ali's aunt from Hongkong. She goes to Indonesia very often recently to see her mom's condition. Then, my mom in law is the second daughter. The rest are 3 uncles, my mom in law's brother that we called Akhiu; Akhiu Awun, Akhiu Afung and Akhiu Aliong. 

Iie came that night and had picked up by Ali. Both of them were rushing to funeral home to know more about the procedure. Then Ali delivered Iie to Fave hotel and he went home around 1 AM.


The next day, on Thursday, all of us gathered in funeral home. In Chinese tradition, we believed in feng shui and it said that Popo had to be put in the coffin around 3-5 PM. Though Popo was Catholic but we had to follow the tradition. At the same time, we also had to pick up Pastor for the Requiem mass. We faced a bit of lack communication as Pastor wasn't at his place at that moment. Thankfully, we had Pastor with us and we could have Requiem mass then. That night, we had to close the coffin. So sad couldn't see her face anymore.


For few days, all the members of the family had to spend along the day at the funeral home together. It's really bad to know that we never had this moment when Popo was alive. To be honest, I didn't want it's over.
