Once again, He etched something quite sharp into my life, with lines that were firm and unmistakable.

Day by day, I grew like any other child—learning to walk, to speak, to jump, and to play freely.
But at the age of seven, that sharp stroke became deeply real in my life, because at that very age, God allowed my father to return to His embrace.

I still remember how deeply sad my mother and I were at that time, losing the figure of a father and a husband in our lives.

One sentence remains engraved in my memory until today—the moment my mother stood before my father’s body and asked about the future of her little son, whom she had waited for 17 years.

Of course, at that moment, my father could no longer answer my mother’s question about his child’s future.

With great strength, my mother continued her life with me, earning a living by selling simple porridge at the market.

Yet through that porridge, the Creative Author once again wrote beautiful lines into our lives.

Although my mother struggled alone, raising me only by selling porridge, we never lacked food or clothing. How extraordinary You are, God.

I grew into a chubby child—hehehe—
because every day there was always food at home, and my body grew wider to the left and right. Hehehe…

But my chubbiness itself became a testimony of how miraculously He sustained our lives.

Because He was able to nurture a tiny baby weighing only 1.8 kilograms into a healthy, chubby child.

At that time, I truly lost the figure of a father who used to be my playmate and confidant, yet I never felt alone—because He is a Father who always walked beside me.

But wait…

This was not the last sharp stroke written by the Creative Author through my father’s passing.

This was only the first sharp stroke He allowed to happen in my life.

The Creative Author will continue His writing in my life.

One message I want to share with you through this second part of my story is this:

“You may lose something you dearly love, but believe this—you will never lose the most beautiful thing in your life: the perfect love of God, revealed through His sacrifice on the cross.”
