    My nyayi passed away

    I received the sad news that my nyayi* had passed away this morning and burial arrangements are expected at around 11am today. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raaji’un. I wish I could have gone but I have to submit my coursework to APIIT which is already three days overdue.

    In her memory and a mark of respect, I will not be posting anything here until Saturday.

    * Javanese for “grandmother” and used colloquially by family members to refer to her, including myself. At least some Javanese traditions did survive in the family.
