After January 12th, 2009

My dear Jan,
More than nineteen years ago we met
And more than fifteen years we were married

Four years we learned to know each other
Not through email or sms but just through letter

Everyday we wrote it
And every week we sent
Maybe it sounded stupid
But it worked excellent!

Years came and went
Together we have spent
Holland, Indonesia
And almost China

With all ups and downs
We kept moving on
We agreed to do the best
For our children whom we were blessed


I have been thinking
Maybe it is a crazy thing
My love for you keeps growing
You know, this is God’s blessing

Then we went through the darkness
In the first week of the year
I have been almost hopeless
To see all the pain and fear

I kept fighting for you
Because I care and love you
To make you better
Even my health didn’t matter

Now my life is not mine like before
Because you are not here anymore
You’re gone from this temporary place
To your Owner to get your rest

I miss my other half
But I am not alone
Life is hard and tough
But I need to move on

I’d tell everybody, every tree and bird
How I love you in my every breath
No matter how much pain I got
You remain the one in my heart

My dear Jan,
Thank you for being my husband
and the father of our children
