Teruteru's Diary

Entry --- (Final Entry)

Goodbye

And here I am. The final entry of the diary that I received from Momma all those years ago. Momma... Whenever I think about her (almost every hour of every day) I get choked up. I read those entries that were written while I was controlled by despair over and over again. I can't remember exactly what happened, but I can picture perfectly the diner-- no, my home, bursting into flames, and along with it my happy memories... and my mother.

But the end of this book means a new beginning. A new life. I purchased a new journal today (I made sure it was a journal this time), to write all my new stories and adventures in. And I want to thank you. Thank you for coming with me on my journeys. Thank you for being there for me when I was recovering from Despair. But most of all, thank you for listening.

I look forward to my next adventure. I was hoping to sell the bakery and take Akane and the kids back to my home to rebuild the diner. We'll see...

Thank you, diary. Thank you, Momma. And goodbye.
