BJ Habibie's Eulogy to wife (Indonesia's 3rd President)
Translated to English:
This is not about your death, not that.
For I know, everything that there is will be cease to be at the end, and death is absolute in the end, and this is just your turn to go, I know that very well.
What shock me so is that the fact that death can really cut off someone's link to happiness so suddenly, in just a moment, the feeling of being half dead weighs in, my heart is not right anymore, and my body feels empty and floating, just a shell.
You know dear, like a cool wind suddenly disappearing and replaced by scorching heat.
To the tear that I shed, I enclosed my long farewell, to the faithfulness that you crafted, to the bitter sweet memories while you are here, I don't mean to complain, but the moment you're in my life felt too short.
They assume that I am a good lover for you my love, without them knowing, it is you that made me a good lover. How could I be faithful when my nature is to not, but you taught me about loyalty, so that I could be faithful, you taught me the meaning of love, so that I am able to love you like this.
Farewell,
You came from Him, and return to Him,
you were absent in my life once, now again you are absent.
Farewell my love,
the light of my eyes, the comfort of my soul,
Farewell, my soon to be angel.
