Let me start this note with the quote I saw on the internet:

"It's not a dead end; it's a plot twist."

May this quote encourage you to fight and to move forward, even if the future seems blurry or unknown. May the story of Ciela inspire you to continue fighting in life.

Gasgas na 'tong linyang 'to, pero uulitin ko na naman. Please live your life to the fullest.

Minsan lang tayong mabuhay, kaya sulitin na natin. Mahirap man pero kakayanin, at pipiliting kayaning malampasan ang malubak na daan patungo sa magandang kinabukasan.

Thank you for being with Ciela, her family, and Eulcrist until the end. I hope you learn some lessons from them.

And to you, my dear real-life Ciela, thank you for still fighting and for moving forward. This story was somehow inspired by you. Just like Ciela, I hope that you'll find out what really makes you happy and content. I am so proud of you, and I love you. And please, keep your faith burning!

Again, thank you, and I hope you enjoyed and loved this story just as much as I enjoyed and loved writing it.

Let me end this note with my favorite verse in the Bible:

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."

Jeremiah 29:11
