What Cancer Has Taught Me

10:40

[late Rheza Christian, who inspired people during his last minutes]

Lately I hear a lot of my peers died or get a serious sickness. My cousin's best friend was at hospital for a heart attack and now gotta stop smoking. My senior in junior high was dead because of the arsenic. He was eating sushi one night and drank orange juice (contained vitamin C that is reactive to something in the raw seafood) and died not three hours after.

Yesterday, a friend of my brother's was dead. He got an ASPS disease, which is very rare in Indonesia, that had eaten his bones from the inside. He had lost his right feet because of the amputation for it was very damaged. His both right and left humerus, lung and calf and later his skull were all damaged, too. It was a very painful journey for the last two years for him, and finally he passed away on Sept 13, 00:20 GMT +7, in Bandung.

Tho he is now gone, I believe the spirit and love and memory of him remains in the heart of his family and friends. I personally never know about him until he died yesterday, but very much touched and inspired by his blog. Life teach us a lot of things, but death teach us how to appreciate all. How much things in this world passed us by just like that without us really notice or appreciate that is actually very much worth? You really should read gayot.posterous.com and start to be grateful now!


To Rheza Christian a.k.a. Gayot,
thank you for ever sharing and touching our hearts,
your time on earth has done and now it is time to be with God
may your soul rests in peace :')
