"Jin Ah, look! Let's wish on that star!"
"Okay, Appa! I wish... I wish for a baby... sister!" a three-year old Jin Ah said, as she was cradled in her father's arms.
"Good wish! Let's hope it comes true."

"Dear Sun and Moon and Sky, hi there! My name is Yoon Jin Ah and I am 5 years old and my birthday is in a few days. I really want a new doll... but my Eomma and Appa are very sad. Eomma says the baby in her tummy went back to heaven and won't be living with us and she's crying... so... it's okay if I don't get a doll for my birthday. Can you please make my Eomma and Appa smile again? A doll for Jin Ah can wait."

"Dear Heavens, it's me again, Yoon Jin Ah. I'm not sure why my Eomma's babies don't get to live with us... so I hope Auntie Hae-sook's baby is healthy. I know it's not my birthday but I would really love it if my wish could be granted."

"Hye-won-ah, look! There's a falling star! Let's make a wish," Jin Ah pointed to the sky from their place on the grass.
"I wish... I wish for many gifts on my birthday!" Hye-won chirped.
JIn Ah chuckled but silently she sent her own prayer. "Hye-won's operation is in a few days... please make her strong and get her through it. It's okay if the boy I like in school doesn't like me... as long as Hye-won gets better. I love my cousin very much. Please make her heart better."

"I'm starting to doubt if there is a heaven but I'll try to send this prayer anyway. Hye-won needs another operation and we don't have the money for it. Please... please... please... we need a miracle... please. And... I don't want to be selfish but... can I also ask for some strength for me? My boyfriend dumped me when I thought we were serious about each other... my heart is breaking but I don't care about that now. Just give me strength to heal quickly so that I could focus on Hye-won. Please."
