Debora is leaving

From left to right: Poni, Selly, Debora During their graduation (May 06)

It has been 1 year since those people in the picture graduated from IUPUI. But I still remember them in my memory and it was as if yesterday was the first day I met Poni and Debora in Saigon. It was also still fresh in my memory the first day I met Selly in Caregroup. Without realizing it, 1 years has passed by. What can I say ? Debora has left US for good and she won't come back anytime soon, it makes me sad since right now I'm the second longest Indonesian who stay in Indianapolis in CaPLoG. InC after Hery. Seeing new people coming in to IUPUI especially reminds me the first day I came here without knowing anything and when I help them out to go grocery shopping or to the mall reminds me of the first Saturday when Selly + Stephanus asked me and Jessy going to the fashions mall. Last Summer camp, although I didn't make it, when I asked people to coming there reminds me of how Debora promoted the summer camp to me last year. I also still remember when I was so excited waiting for every Friday where I just keep following CaPLoG. InC activities each Friday without knowing who will preach or what is the topic or wheter this Friday will be a free Caregroup or not. Those days has passed by, it was me right now who make decisions and trying to understand what God's will and apply it. Although it was the second time I say farewell to Debora, I still feel something odd happening. It's like I was saying to God, no please don't take her away. I still need her advise and I need someone (although that person didn't do anything) to look up to so I can feel everything will be alright. It was so sad when I heard mei2 isn't going to extend her present in US but one thing that I know, God's plan was the best for all of us. Even though she's already in San Diego but I still feel really sad when she leaves for Indonesia, it means more barrier to communicate with her since Internet connection in Indonesia was so bad especially in Surabaya (This is just joking :P don't take it seriously). So I'm not sure whether she'll be online again in MSN or not. Maybe most of the times I never show respect to her but inside of me I know that I can learn a lot of thing from her. So I just can say farewell Debora and wish you all the best in the new places !!!!
