This is one of the saddest moment that I experienced ever in my whole life. I lost my father 40 days ago and this is the first death in the family. Our family is only small. I am the only son and i have a half sister who is residing in Canada. That makes us only four. Then, I have a wife and 2 kids so all in all we're just 7. And in times like this the loneliness that we're experiencing is really tremendous. I thank God, that the previous events that happened in my life had been somewhat a preparation for me when this happens. I'm hurting deeply now, but it's different when you know that God is beside you in your suffering. The pains becomes more bearable and there is always hope..
Since I consider this as one dark moment of my life, I needed a candle and I found one. I held on to God's promise. The good thing about it is God is faithful to his promises and He does not lie. He's a reliable person: That's what keep me standing strong and go on with my journey even in this difficult times of my life.

"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint"
- Isaiah 40: 18-31
