What never changed though was right here. The stability and love that was always provided when we wanted or needed a blessing. We were all fortunate. The Brooks family was growing, our extended families were growing, and life showed me that through hardships brought opportunities. I loved my life. I loved Athens, Georgia. This was home… where all of our hearts lie. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
The End
(and the author sobs and sobs and sobs)
To my readers,
I wanted to write a quick note to thank you for the past two and half years. It has been two and half years of love, heartache, hardships, and support. All of which I couldn’t have done without you. Back when I came up with the concept of Bender, I had no idea that one little story in my head would create a world that so many would love as much as I did. The Brooks brothers are real. They live in my head, and now they are with each one of you.
Thank you. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. There are not enough words, and adjectives in the English language that can express what you all have given to me. I hope I did the Brooks justice, and I hope even more that you all continue one in your reading journeys with me.
Love,
Stacy
