This is the last chapter. Epilogue will be posted next week.
Thank you so much for the love, understanding, and patience you gave this story. Writing this for a year and 8 months was truly an experience of a lifetime that I will never forget.
I hope we all learned from Blair and Jacquin. God bless!

Chapter 60:
The Beautiful
BLAIR kept her playlist on even after her morning prayer.
♫ What a beautiful Name it is...
What a beautiful Name it is...
The Name of Jesus Christ, my King.. ♫
Napatingin si Blair sa labas ng bintana habang hinahaplos-haplos ang umumbok ng sinapupunan.
Maulap—dalawang linggo nang ganito ang panahon magmula nang tuluyang sumakabilang-buhay ang ina.
She was shocked that it came so fast. While she prepared herself since last year, nakakagulat pa rin. At the same time, there was an unexplainable calmness within her.
Malungkot, pero hindi na nakalulunod.
Masakit, pero hindi na nakadudurog.
Maliban marahil sa panananampalataya, kampante si Blair na nasulit niya ang oras na nakasama ang Mama niya.
♫What a beautiful Name it is, nothing compares to this...
What a beautiful Name it is, the Name of Jesus... ♫
She was given the opportunity to forgive. Blair had the chance to cook for her, to give her medicine, to tell her stories, to listen to her, to put Bridgette to sleep... And most of all, she got to share her faith to her mother.
She had no regrets.
♫ You didn't want heaven without us.
So, Jesus, You brought heaven down...
My sin was great, Your love was greater...
What could separate us now? ♫
Napangiti si Blair nang nahawi ang mga ulap at sumikat ang araw. Tumama ang sinag ng araw sa kanyang mukha. Pumikit siya at dinama ang init...
It's like a warm caress from a Mighty Father up above. Telling her that everything's going to be alright...
Huminga siya ng malalim. Everything's going to be alright...
"Blair, it's time for breakfast," Jack softly called. "Santino's waiting on the table..."
Dumilat siya at lumingon dito. "I'm coming," nakangiti niyang sagot.
Habang patayo siya mula sa pagkakaupo sa gilid ng kama, nasa tabi niya na agad si Jack para alalayan siya. Sumuporta ang isang kamay nito sa likod niya habang ang isa ay nakahawak sa kanyang braso.
Lalong napangiti si Blair. Since her mother died, nag-day off muna ang nagtatampo at pakipot na Jack. Bumalik ang maasikaso niyang asawa.
Oh, well. Jack has always been like this. He sets aside his personal feelings for the need of others. Such a selfless man after all the years that passed by.
