Epilogue
What I’ve learned from all I’ve been through is that bad things will happen to us beyond our control. But afterwards we have two choices: to let these events ruin us for the rest of our lives or to rise above them.
Yes, the cracks still remain and there is no guarantee our life will be smooth after we face difficult ordeals. But there is hope. After stormy days will come days of sunshine. After you hit rock bottom you can only go up again. After earthquakes there will be stability.
The world as I knew it was no more. But in its place rose a world more welcoming, more loving than I had ever known.
