To you my beloved cousin,

How’s there? I hope you are doing alright. It's been hours since you were gone.

I still remember the last time we saw each other. It was like only a month ago. At that time, I even promised you that we’ll see each other again because I couldn’t come to see you and the others on my last night in Bandung. You replied “see you next year”. There’ll be no next year, after all.

I still remember the times when we had so much fun. You were practically the only cousin with the closest age to mine. Only one year gap. I looked through some old pictures and found that even since we were toddlers we were close. You had this long curly hair as a little boy and it was braided :D in that picture we hugged each other tightly.

I still remember the times when you lived in Pekanbaru. Primary years if I’m not mistaken. That was seriously fun. You were one of my favorite cousins and will always be. As we’ve grown up although we only met once a year every time I visit Bandung, we never put any distance in between. We always had fun, as a little kid we watched anime, trying to act like those characters, running madly around the house, playing at the swings at the park nearby the house, swimming at the hot springs, eating snacks and so on.

I still remember few years back on our teenage days, we were young and wild and free. We used one of your friend’s car to go to Dago and had fun. You were instantly became one of my drinking buddies :) Those nights when I sneaked out from the house, met you in Circle K and had more fun with you and your friends. We would chat about stupid things.

With you, there was no sadness. Ever. Only fun and laugh. Carefree. You see, almost every sentences I wrote had the 'fun' tag on them. Therefore, I would live and continue my life without you and there was no reason to be sad. I might be mourning today but tomorrow as the sun rises, I would live my life and laugh freely again. For you.
Please watch me and the others from up there.
