'Ot!

My classmate, a sister-nun of the Charles Borromeo Sisters, Sr. Andrea was absent in our Theology class for two Wednesdays and I was not surprise. But today, it’s surprising that my seatmate died few days ago. She went home in Indonesia last September 11 and had a surgical operation but after a complication she had a cardiac arrest that caused her death. She was buried last Sunday.

Out of nineCBsisters in our class, she is the youngest and it is shown by her joyful disposition. She is nice and kind for she always smile all the time. One quality I can’t forget about her is the way she tell stories about Indonesia while gigling in a little crooked english. I admire her passion for entering relgious life as she was already a teacher: a soccer teacher forhisgh school students in one of their schools in Indonesia. A young and beautiful nun at 41, she died early yet I’m sure, her perpetual profession manifests her fidelity to her vocation as a consecrated person.

This is another way of telling other people that all die; death doesn’t exempt. Behind her life lived to the full, is the passion for life that not even death can surpass. That’s the memory that remains.
