you know,

not enough photos were taken,

because we spent so little time together.

but now i appreciate the candid shots i took of people,

and i’m glad i didn’t respect their privacy very much.

“raymond just passed away”

four words hard enough to stun.

in times like this, why, Lord,

comes easier than yes, Lord.

raymond see.

i didn’t get to eat the asam pedas for you.

but you know that i’ll clear my debt someday.

our big party in heaven will come.

then i will eat asam pedas for you.

brother,

we don’t say goodbye.

 

you know what.

in a moment of sadness in the evening,

i had this sudden thought:

we’re all crying here on earth,

and he’s probably looking down from his mansion,

and asking why.
