She then said she would read every entry he had on his blog. She went on to say “I want to thank you for teaching everyone a very important lesson. Thank you for opening my eyes and making me braver. I know now that whatever challenge I will have to face, I will be able to pull through because of you. I’m gonna miss your face and miss hearing your corny joke. I wish you stayed with us longer. I am keeping my promise and we will still travel the world together. No more crying. Happy birthday, dude. Joyeux voyage, je t’aime frere (Happy journey, I love you brother).”
Nadine’s other message was meant for other people who are going through depression. JaDine’s hashtag #keepgoing has since gone trending since they first posted that semicolon. Nadine has been praised for her strength that amidst troubled times, she was still able to take time to raise awareness on depression and suicide. This message was to further encourage others who have gone through what she has gone through or are going through.
Nadine’s last lines in her message were, “Before you do something you will regret, think about all the great things that you can do in the future, people you will meet and places you travel to, the lives you will touch. I almost din it before and I’m so thankful that I didn’t do it, because if I did, I wouldn’t be living the life that I have now. Stay with us because life is beautiful. #keepgoing.” Check out Nadine’s full message below.
