Upload A Video Spend The Weekend With Jan Ethes, Jokowi: It Feels Like Just Yesterday I Was Holding Him

JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) uploaded a moment with his first grandson, Jan Ethes at the Bogor Presidential Palace, West Java this weekend.

Through his Instagram account @jokowi, the former Governor of DKI Jakarta seemed to be spending time with Ethes.

The two seem to be cycling, walking together, riding in a golf cart. He felt that the son of the Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, was growing after a long absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Morning walk with Jan Ethes. It feels like just yesterday I holding Jan Ethes as a baby and time flies so fast. For a year and a half, in a pandemic atmosphere, I rarely see my grandson," Jokowi said in his upload, quoted on Sunday, 19 September.

In the video, which lasts more than one minute, Ethes is seen wearing a black long shirt complete with an agile mask, moving and actively walking, cycling, and running.

According to Jokowi, Ethes began to be agile and active. In fact, he said that the older brother of Sedah Mirah, Gibran's second child, had accompanied him for morning walks and cycling around the Yogyakarta Palace last week.

Furthermore, closing his upload, Jokowi hopes that this pandemic will end soon. So, anyone without exception can gather together.

"I always hope that this pandemic can end soon so that we are all free to meet family again, gather with children, grandchildren, and friends," he concluded.
