I don't know how many times exactly I've
been travelling with my dad.. After he got stroke from his high blood
pressure condition, he had difficulties to move his hand especially the
motoric nerves, but overall, he has a good condition so far. Attending
my grandma's funeral after she passed away on December 4th, me and dad
catch up with mom who already been there since last thursday, and taking
last flight to Mataram in Lombok Island. We took Garuda as our flight and trust their service, I'm asking for a wheel-chair for my dad, and I never had a problem with that. Waiting for our boarding, we find a massage place and dad gladly take an hour feet massage (refleksi) and I walking around the 2F terminal. I found a SpongeBob collectible box contained 6 books (waaaww... !) and also bought a great book called "As Luck Would Have It".. it tells an incredible stories from lottery wins to lightning strikes survivor.. after buy those books, I went to Rotiboy corner and get 16 of them as ordered by my sister.
After an hour or so, there's a calling for GA 432 passengger to get on board. I told my dad to finish the massage coz I already make promised to Garuda ground crew to be on the spot at 6.30 sharp so we can get in to the plane first.
(That's one of the privilege if I travelling with dad.. always be the first to be on board
) And we've waited about 20 minutes to get all the passenggers on board as well. Serving my dad who quite had a difficulties to eat on the tray is another thing. Well, maybe this is an input for all airplane, to have a wider space for the handicap passengger like my dad.. I'm so happy that my dad choose to travel with me.. even sometimes he can be so annoying with all his orders, but I always always on his side.. no matter how busy I am..
In every prayer, I always ask for my dad great condition, so he can play tennis again, like he used to do before he got sick... Thank you, God.. I still have him around.. Love you, Dad...
