At the end of the story  titled “Through Thick and Thin”, Nadene and Thomas finally become a successful people even after they’ve been facing a tragic moment in their life. Nadene got offered to be a CEO in the big company while Thomas has graduated from Degree in accounting.

The ending of the story is a big relief to the readers and I’m included too. Yes, I do like the ending of the story as it shows that we should go on with our lives even when our loved one are gone. It shows strength that we never knew we have. As for an example, Nadene never thought that she could go on with her life without her parents by her side. But, with her relatives’ support, she and Thomas could finally live a normal life and become successful. Also, I like the ending of the story because it tells us that family love can heal everything. Yes, her parents are gone but luckily, she has a lovely aunt. She also has supportive grandparents. Both of them play a big role to keep Nadene and Thomas healthy either mentally or physically. Thankfully both Nadene and Thomas could cope with their sadness and move on with their life. I can’t imagine how I would be if I’m in their shoes. In my life, there is also one incident where I lost someone. I lost my grand aunt when I was small. We were so close and she likes to share her story. When I lost her, I was so sad. Lucky me, my parents were there for me and they help me to cope with my sadness. That’s when I know that family love is strong as it can heal almost every pain we feel, either mentally or physically.

Sometimes, a bad thing that happen to us can turn us into a person we never knew we could be. We could be stronger and it could change our lives in a way we could never imagine. This story is a perfect example of a strength in a person, and a perfect example of family love. Just so you know that friends are also a family. Family doesn’t always need to be blood related to be a family.

‘’Through thick and thin’’ ends off with Nadene vowing to protect her little brother, Thomas, and to always be by his side no matter the variables of the situation at hand. Though it is a depressing story, I like the ending quite a bit as it is the classic fairytale rebound structure.

Losing loved ones will never be easy especially if it is true. Nadene and his little brother were separated from their parents in a gruesome incident, one that will probably scar for life. Yet, they persevered and bloomed into successful characters. I too have lost people I hold dearly. An example would be a friend I met in tuition class. We clicked instantly and were inseparable, or so we thought. She left as she had to move to a different country. I wasn’t told it would happen, perhaps it was easier that way. To overcome the sadness, I just think about the good memories we did form when she was there and hope she’s doing well wherever she is.

As a closure, remind yourself of who you appreciate and remind them of said fact as often as possible.

The short story ‘Through Thick And Thin’ tells a story about a tragic event in Nadene’s life.

In my opinion, I really like the ending. At the end of the story, both Nadene and her little brother, Thomas have become successful despite losing their parents in a tragic way. Losing both of their loved one at the same time could have made them lose their will to live but being surrounded by all the supportive relatives helped them went through the rough path. For example, their aunt and grandparents have helped them got back on their feet. Nadene got to work with a successful chemical company near their home and got promoted as the company’s ceo meanwhile Thomas  is now a degree holder. Nadene also promised to stick with Thomas through thick and thin.
In my life, I have experience the feeling of losing a bestfriend because she have to move following her father. We were so close back then but now I have lost contact with her. I am just hoping the best for her wherever she is right now.

In conclusion, we must accept every challenge that comes into our life with a positive mind. Remember that life has its up and down.

The short story “Through Thick and Thin” is about Nadene and her family involved in a car accident on their way to send her to Penang. At the end, her parents died and left her with her brother.

I like the ending of this short story as both Nadene and her brother Thomas were successful in life. After the incident, their relatives looked after them very well. They were very kind to them and always ready to help to heal their sadness. Ten years later, Thomas succeeded in his study and graduated in Bachelor in Accounting and Finance. Besides, Nadene was very successful in her career. She was promoted as the new CEO at the company she worked for in Kuala Lumpur. Nadene believed that live goes on no matter what happened even if she lost her beloved ones.

In my life, the hardest thing that happened to me was when my mom died as a cancer fighter. I was very young at that time. I will not forget that day,never. Since then, I always wanted to give the best to my family and be a good example to my brothers as I am the oldest. I also tried my best to be strong for the sake of my family then. I believed that life is all about going through thick and thin as now, my father married and I had a stepmother who is very kind to us and treat us like her own children.

The story entitled “Through Thick and Thin” tells us about two siblings, Nadene and her little brother, Thomas who lost both of their beloved parents due to a tragic accident that occurred on their way to Penang.

I really adore the ending of the story because it is a happy ending. At the end of the story, they both managed to become successful and overthrow the worst incident in their whole life. Nadene got a position in a large chemical company in Kuala Lumpur and will be promoted as the new CEO. Meanwhile, Thomas or his nickname, Tommy graduated with First-Class Honors in the Bachelor of Accounting and Finance degree. I can see the power of love which their aunt and grandparents showed in the story that makes them survived until then.

I also had lost someone so special in my life and the person is my best friend. We had known each other since we were six and we were very closed to each other that some people thought we were twins. It was all happy moments until one day in secondary school, she became a total stranger to me. She did not even want to see my face in her presence. At first, I completely did not know what I do wrong to her until someone told me that her boyfriend talked trash about me to her. I was totally speechless because she trusted a guy over me who had known her many years before him. I overcome those years by keeping our memories in my heart and praying the best for her.

In conclusion, we must remember that life has ups and downs. Therefore, we need to be strong to face them. Also, we should appreciate our loved ones and treasure every moment with them before it is too late.

The short story “Through Thick and Thin” tell us about the most painful event in Nadene’s life.

In my opinion, I really like the ending of the story. This is because Nadene and Thomas grew up into successful people. As we can see, Nadene was promoted as new CEO of the company in less than two months. Meanwhile, Thomas was graduated with bachelor of accounting and finance. This shows that even though they loss their beloved parents, they kept motivated in pursuing their study and life. On the other hand, I love how their grandparents and aunt help them out of their darkest memory. For example, their aunt was agreed to move and look after them.

I lost my dearest uncle early in this year. I was cried over and over especially when I saw my dad and his siblings grieved. Nobody expected and prepared for his loss. At first it was hard for me to overcome it but as time goes by and I get busy with other things, I finally managed to overcome it. In conclusion, death is inevitable. We grieve about losing our loved ones once in a while but we know that it should not last long because no matter how much it hurts us, we must continue going on the next chapters of life even if the person is no longer part of it.

AT the end of the story titled "Through Thick and Thin", Nadene and her brother , Tommy become successful despite after loosing their parents in a car accident.

I really like the ending of the story seeing that Nadene grow up to be very independent and responsible woman also a sister. She promised to herself to take care of Tommy through every situation for they only have each other now. Nadene also work at a chemical company and will be promoted as a new CEO which sound so successful for me . In addition, i really like how the family grow closer together , after the death of their parents Nadene's aunty and her grandparents became the biggest support in her life and Tommy.As a daughter myself I expect my parents to stay the longest in my life and i want them to be there for  every special moment in my life.After my father passed away earlier this year , Im having a really hard time and I almost give up but then I remember how my father wants me to be successful in everything I do. I think that is how Nadene and Tommy become successful after loosing someone they love the thoughts of them for us to not give up easily .

Based on the story “Through Thick and Thin”, it is story about Nadeen and Thomas who have an accident during Nadeen’s graduation day, on that day too, they lost their both parents.

In my opinion, I really like the ending of the story, Nadeen and Thomas become successful person. Nadeen have job that relate to Chemical Engineering, while Thomas have a scroll of degree in accounting. But it is so sad, because their parents can’t see their success. However, they not getting sad or upset until they lost their life. But Nadeen and Thomas become more stronger after the traumatic tragedy. The try to study hard and become successful person right now. If their parents are still alive now, they maybe must be proud for their children.

My conclusion is, we must be strong even it is hurt. Don’t let your tear or your sadness control your mind until you become depression. But you need to be strong and keep it up like Thomas and Nadeen. Because, in the world there is no rainbow without a little rain.

Based on the story, 'Through thick and thin", This story tells us about how Nadine's happiest moments became one of her most Nadene and her little brother, Tomy had became a successful person despite facing a tragic event in their life. in her life.

For me, the ending is very meaningful and inspiring.The reason is because how Nadine act to protect her younger brother by rejecting her job offer at Penang to take care of her pitiful brother.I can see how Nadine is a very responsible older sibling towards her brother after what had happened to them.Therefore,Thomas had grew up to became a graduate for bachelor of accounting.In addition,Nadine also got an offer to become the CEO of a chemical engineering company.Besides that,this story also mention "family healing throughout the the hard time".This can be proven from Nadine's and Thomas's grandparents and their unmarried aunty whom willingly to take care of the two siblings after losing both of their parents.Their grandparents take this opportunity to cheer Nadine and Thomas even though they also had lost the only daughter in their family.This event is suitable with a quote "Friends come and go, but family is forever".I really acknowledge and respect their family relationship between each other.

By listening to this story,I remembered one of the saddest moments in my life that I have experienced when I was eleven years old.My childhood best friend , got into an accident on her way back from her vacation in Penang.Her older brother who was driving the car is getting sleepy because it is late at night.Out of all the sudden, the lorry in front of them try to overtake their small vehicle.Her brother who are senseless at that time did not realise of the lorry and did not dodge quickly.Because of that, their Kancil got into a terrible accident.My best friend,her mother and her older brother did not able to survive from the accident.Only her younger sister survived from the accident because she was thrown out from the vehicle and got into the big drain.Unfortunately,she got badly injured in her head and she barely remembers anything.I was only a child at that time hearing this happened and I am not going to lie it is definitely traumatizing.For now,I'm just  praying for her hoping that my best friend and her family will rest in peace out there.I will always cherish every sweet moments I spent with her.I would not stop praying for her in every step of my life.This is one of the most memorable thing i have experienced in my life.

In conclusion, life must go on.We must move on with our life to lead of a happier life then.Anything that happened in your life,take it as a lesson in our life to make us more mature.We have a long journey to explore, don't stop because one mistake or tragedy in our life.

Right after the accident, she stayed by Tommy’s side and decided to get a job near home so she can be with him.

At the end of the story titled ‘Through Thick and Thin’, Nadene and Thomas both managed to overcome the hardships they had without the support from their biological parents.

I love how Nadene and Thomas managed to be successful with each other’s company. Nadene managed to get a job in Kuala Lumpur at one of the most successful chemical companies and will be appointed as the CEO of the company while Thomas managed to finish his study and got his degree in Accounting and Finance. Everyone in the story has played important roles to help Nadene and Thomas pursue their dreams. For example, their grandmother always tries to cheer them up by cooking their favorite dishes. The family love that they had for each other helps them to not be discouraged by the mishap that befell in their lives.
I also have lost someone close in my life, it was my aunt. She was very kind and always try to keep in touch with all of my relatives and I. Unfortunately, she has been diagnosed with colon cancer years ago and passed away from it. Although she has been struggling to fight the disease for so long, she managed to put on a smile for us which made me admire her.
In conclusion, we need to believe that every cloud always has a silver lining. When live strikes us hard we need to rise back up and fight for our dreams. Each disturbance that occurs will help us to be better in the future.

Based on the short story “Through Thick and Thin”, Nadene and Thomas had the biggest blow in their life by losing their parents in a car accident. They lived up to their dreams despite losing their pillar of strength.

From my standpoint, I really adore the ending of the story where both Nadene and Thomas became successful in studies and continued pursuing their dreams. For instance, Nadene was promoted as the CEO for a successful chemical company in Kuala Lumpur in less than two months while Thomas was a degree holder in Bachelor of Accounting and Finance.

I lost my last grandparents which was my father’s mom back in 2016. It was a tremendously hard time for both my family and relatives. She was a very tender-hearted woman. I normally distract myself with random thoughts to circumvent the sadness.

To summarize, life is full of flowers and thorns. We shouldn’t conceal in the dark hoping for the light to approach by itself yet we should glow up and move on for the sake of our life in the future.

" Through Thick and Thin " tell us about a tragic event in Nadene's life and I really like the ending of the story.

As a human being, who will not feel sad when their loved ones leaves this temporary world. Let alone if those people are the parents who gave birth to and raise us. As told in the story, Nadene is a student majoring in chemical engineering and Thomas, her younger brother has lost their mother and father in a road accident while heading to Nadene's graduation ceremony. Who would have though that Nadene's long-waited day turned out to be the most tragic day of her life. The car they were riding in was hit by a truck at 80 miles per hour in addition to the slippery road conditions. However, after 10 years Thomas and Nadene's life changed for the better. Nadene and Thomas have been successful human beings where Thomas graduated with a degree in accounting and finance while Nadene has been offered a position as CEO of the company she works for.

On February 1, 2020, I lost the only grandmother I had after 18 years of life. Even though we don't spend much time together, that doesn't mean we forget each other. The news of her death made me remember all my memories with her. The memory where she would give me pocket money before going home even for only fifty cents. Those memories made my tears flow without me realizing it. What make me even sadder is that I was not able to accompany her body to the cemetery until today because of the covid-19 pandemic that was raging at the time. However, I believe that her return to the creator is the best plan of God for my grandmother and I who are still alive need to continue living.

In conclusion, although Nadene and Thomas were tested terribly, there was wisdom behind the test. The love and attention given by their aunts and uncles has given them the strength to move on with life. Even if someone has gone too far from us, it does not mean they will be forgotten and that is what Nadene did.

The story I listened, “Through thick and thin” is a story revolve the life of Nadene, a woman with the ambition to be a chemical engineer. I have mixed feelings, complicated to be described of the ending of this story.

As we all can see, in the story it is described how excited Nadene was when she got her new job at Penang. We can also see how reluctant her parents were to let go of her. This kind of thing is very normal even in real life and yeah it is usually about the daughter that parents always worried about because they are woman and woman is soft, so fragile. Despite being so worried about their daughter, the time has come for caterpillar to turn into butterfly and fly away. The parents can’t stop their excited daughter and just let her go but they offer themselves to be the one to send her off. The daughter can’t be more than glad to accept the offer, they then went on for the 6 hours journey, but on the way they got into an incident which killed both of her parents. At the end, 10 years have passed since then but Nadene seems like she still can’t move on from the traumatic tragedy. She rejected the job at Penang and just work somewhere nearby to look after her brother. This ending, I just have love-hate relationship with it. I like the concept that they made it realistic but I also hate the fact that such a brilliant ambitious lady suppressed herself, to keep herself around her brother because of the tragedy and because he’s the only one she got. She is limiting her potential without realizing it. I get that the tragedy hits her as hard as atomic bomb but still, I really am sympathy for her. I bet she’s still single and not married because she needs herself to focus on taking care of her brother, such dedication sounds more like obsession than responsibility.

In conclusion, I think I love the ending while at the same time hate some parts of it. In life I too have experienced the lost of loved ones, both of my grandfathers, I was really close to them and they are really proud of me heck more than my own parents. One passed away of cancer and another one of heart attack and stroke. Me choosing the microbiology is an evidence that their death traumatized me and I have promised myself to do research on these sickness and cure it. More or less like a vengeance, well revenge is sweet and it is my driving force to work hard in this microbiology course. Sometimes there are things that you can’t move on from and that will keep haunting you, however it is up to you how do you react to it. Like Miss Nadene, she reacted to it, making it an obsession instead of driving force, and suppress herself. I guess that’s all from me thank you.

At the end of the story titled ' Through thick and thin ' Nadene's parents died because of accident. Her unmarried aunty moved with them and take a good care of Nadene and Thomas.

For me  , I like the ending of the story because Nadene and Thomas succeeded in life even though their parents had died and left them in tragic way. They are having ah hard time after the death of their parents. Luckily, they have a very supportive and lovely grandparents and aunty. Nadine's aunty moved to to their house. Her auntie  even took a week off to calm down this two siblings. Their grandparents visit them as often as they could . Nadine's grandmother always cook their favorite food plus her grandfather always bring Thomas for a long walk on the beach. Besides , Nadine got an offer job at Penang but she decline it because Thomas needs her. She was a lovely sister. 10 years later, Thomas successfully completed his study in Bachelor Accounting in Finance. Furthermore,  Nadene works at a well-known chemical engineering company and holds CEO position. After all, they are managed to overcome their sadness and become successful. I have never experienced the lost of my close family member. But when I was 13 years old, my grandfather had a stroke. Until now, he could not recover from his stroke. Even though he is still alive, I feel very lose that time because I cannot talk to him. I had to decline an offer from SMKA Bandar Penawar because I was so sad. The best that I can do is helping him to eat talk to him even though he will not response to me.

In conclusion, sometimes the sadness that hit us makes us become stronger in life . Although it hurts, but that is the life we have to go through. Not everyone has a wonderful life constantly. Yet, that is the bittersweet of life

The short story "Through Thick and Thin" tells about the horrific tragedy that befell Nadene which should have been the beginning of an exciting day in his life where she and her family had an accident that caused the death of his parents.

Personally, I really like the ending of this story because it teaches us to go on living even without loved ones and strong in facing the trials and challenges in life. like Nadene and her brother who did not give up and went on living until she managed to get an offer to be a CEO within the next two months and her brother managed to finish degree studies alongside her aunt and grandfather, who always supported and encouraged them to be strong and successful in life.

In my life, I was tested by the death of a neighbor next door to my house.
although only a neighbor but to me she is like a second mother. people will see that we are two different families but for me we are a big happy family even though there is no blood relationship. I overcame this loss by always thinking about the good she did to be an example for me to always do good to the people around me and not sever ties with his family even though they have moved away from my house.

In conclusion, everything around us is only a temporary gift from God. Therefore, we must always appreciate and be thankful for the blessings given by god as well as life must continue even when tested with severe trials.

The short story 'Through Thick and Thin' tells a story about a tragedy that befell a woman named Nadene during her graduation day.

For me, I really like the ending in this short story. It tells about how Nadene and her brother, Thomas cope after the tragic event that took away their parents. Even the day she lost her parents was on her graduation day, she stills pursue her career as a chemical engineer graduate and work under one of successful chemical company in Kuala Lumpur. She also got promoted into the company's CEO in less than two months. Despite her busy schedule, she stills make it in time for her brother's graduation day. She reminisced her memory of her parents and thought how her mother will gave everything to witness that day. Nadene's relatives also plays a major part of her and Thomas's life post-tragedy. Her aunty moved in with them for emotional support and their grandparents also visited them frequently to cheer them up.That shows how crucial familial support is for everyone.

In my life, I too have lost someone very close and dear to me, my father and also my older brother who just died early this year. My brother died from sepsis and multiple organ failure due to bacteria infection. I still remember the day when my mother received a call from the hospital to tell her that my brother is dying. I was so shocked that during the journey to the hospital, I don't feel anything. Only when I saw him lying in hospital gasping for breath, that I finally burst in tears. To think that my brother who was always there for me is going to say goodbye just broke me. Shortly after his death, I would often sleep a lot because I thought that by sleeping I will not feel anything. Some people say that once you get over your grief, life will be so much better. The thing is, grief can never leaves our hearts and we must carry them with us for as long as we live but its true what Nadene said in the short story, "life goes on".

In the short story entitled “Through Thick and Thin” tells us about an unfortunate life of a girl named Nadene that has lost both of her parents in an accident.

The ending of the story told us about Nadene’s successfulness even she struggled with the loss of her parents. She worked at a successful chemical company in Kuala Lumpur and will become the new CEO of the company. Her brother, Tommy, graduated as first-class honours student in Bachelor of Accounting and Finance. The story tells us that even though they lose their main supporters who were always give them motivation, they still can ace in their life. As someone who is in their place, it is hard for me to go on with my life, to pursue my study as I have lost both of my parents. Losing someone who were the only person that used to cherish me with love was hard. It was an arduous journey for me. I didn’t get a good result for my SPM and I was disappointed. I wanted to redeem myself because of the mess up. But Allah loves her more and I didn’t get the chance to reciprocate all the things that she has done for me. I was depressed as the person that I want to be there to comfort me is now gone. However, I prayed to Allah to give me the chance to show the world that my mom has raised an intelligent and independent boy. Now I’m a Diploma in Microbiology student and my family was really proud when I told them about it. If my parents were here, they must have felt very proud too with my achievement. Losing the persons who we love the most is really hard but the only way to make them proud even though they aren’t here anymore is by being successful in life. Nadene and Tommy have proved their ability to achieve their dreams by supporting each other’s back. The ending of the story gives me more reason to study hard and achieve my dream. As the challenges to live in this world are getting harder, we must have a strong mentality and great achievement in academic to get what we dream for easier.

In conclusion, no matter what kind of challenges hit us in the face, we must get up and confront the obstacles that get in our way. Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes them meaningful.

The story "Through Thick and Thin" tells about a strong and smart girl called Nadene who lost both of her parents on their way to Penang. The ending was tragic yet inspirational to me.

I like the ending of the story. The reason I like the ending is because how persistent Nadene is despite her hardships. For example, even though Nadene lost both of her parents that were her pillar of support, she did not lose hope in life and continue to pursue her dreams. She got a job in a successful chemical company and will be promoted soon. Another reason I like the ending of the story is because how Nadene grew to be such a caring sister towards her brother, Thomas. Nadene declined her job’s offer in Penang and applied somewhere close instead to make sure she’s there whenever her brother needs her.

I myself have lost someone dear to me. It was my aunt. Her passing affected me badly because we were very close but as time goes by I manage to overcome the sadness. The incident taught me that I need to show my appreciation to my loved ones more because life is short.

Nothing lasts forever and we need to accept that. We need to stay strong and hang in there tightly even though it seems like there’s no end. No matter how hard our hardships might be today, I believe that everything will pass. Life goes on.

From my opinion,the people should have a matured thinking like Nadene and her brother.The young people nowdays have to be more tough because there are many challenges that they have to face it and try to do their best for their own life too.

At the end of the short story titled “ Through Thick and Thin “, Nadene and her little brother, Tomy had became a successful person despite facing a tragic event in their life.

I really like the ending of the story as they live their life becoming a successful person eventhough a tragic event happened to them. Despite on losing their parents in a road accident, Nadene continued her life and succeeded on becoming a new CEO at a successful chemical company in Kuala Lumpur, meanwhile her little brother, Tomy graduated with a degree in accounting and finance. The power of family healing helped them getting stronger each day. This shown by their aunt that willing to take care of them after the incident and they also got visited by their grandparents to calm them down.

In my life, I have lost someone whom I truly love, which is my grandfather. He passed away 4 years ago. Losing him was really hard for me because I spent a lot of my time with my grandparents since both of my parents were busy working. I still remember the day when he passed away, he was looking for me and asked me to sit next to him. That day, he looked very calm during his last breath. I overcame the loss by thinking that he was in a better place now.

As a conclusion, life must go on. Eventhough we are facing difficulties in our life, we must not be sad always and cry over it, but we need to live our life and become stronger day by day.

At the end of the story titled "Through Thick and Thin," Nadene and her little brother Thomas continued living their life as normal, together.

In my opinion, I really like the ending of the story. This is because the both of them, Nadene and Thomas continued to grow into successful people. For example, Thomas graduated with a degree in accounting and Nadene received a job related to chemical engineering and will soon be the CEO of the company itself. This shows that even if they went through such horrible things such as losing both of their parents, they were never discouraged by that. They kept moving forward with hopes that their parents would be very proud of them. Other than that, I love how they have such a loving family. The both of them stayed together with each other throughout their struggles. Even their aunt was there for them to take care of them and be a replacement to their mother. The love that they grew up with most definitely turned them into lovely and successful people.

For my personal experience, I had lost one of my favorite uncle. He was such a kind man and had always fit in some time for me in his busy schedule. He would come visit me at dinner time and brought me gifts. I was 6 years old when this happened. One day, we received a call from a stranger at dinner time. We had been told that my uncle fell unconscious. He was playing golf with his friends but he suddenly got a heart attack that caused him to fall with his head hitting the golf tee. As soon as he got to the hospital, he was already pronounced dead. Dealing with this as a young girl was very difficult. I did not understand the idea of life, how someone could leave forever. I was crying almost everyday not understanding why he could not come back. Eventually , I understood what had happened and had accept the fact that he's gone forever.

In conclusion, everything that happened in life has been decided. You just have to accept whatever troubles that may come your way. Devastating situations come and go. Happy things could take a turn and turn into something not. So, we should not be too sad when life does not turn out right. Instead, we should be more accepting. In the end, everything will be alright.

The short story “Through Thick and Thin”, tells us about the story of Nadene and her little brother Thomas and how they endure the most traumatic event in their lives.

To my point of view, the ending is a masterpiece. Both siblings have each other’s back throughout the years after the worst incident and continue their lives to be successful. Years after the incident, Nadene works for a prosperous company and was even promoted to become CEO. Thomas got his Degree in Bachelor of accounting and finance. They were both really strong people to have experience the worst things in life for losing their parents at such a young age.

When I was younger, I lost my dearest cat, Gray. Gray was barely a year old. She was only able to see with one eye since born. Despite that, she was the strongest cat I ever loved. One morning, I found her in the middle of the road with flies in her eyes and her body split into two. It was the most devastating moment to me and since Gray died, I never have any interest in keeping pets anymore because I could never replace her. I overcome this by accepting that life goes on even though you loss someone so dear.

The story “Through thick and thin” tells a tragic tale of Nadene’s life where she lost both her mother and father on a day that should be the happiest day of her life which is her own graduation day. Her little brother Tommy is all she have now.
Personally, I really like the ending of this story despite the fact that it is a sorrowful story. I like it because it shows that Nadene didn’t give up and continue to be successful while looking after her brother. For example, she declined the offer to work in Penang which is her dream job and instead of that she choose to work nearer so she could stay close to her brother who really needs her after all that happened. In the end, her brother managed to graduate and Nadene herself is going to be a CEO in just two months.
I lost my dear grandmother long time ago and that was still the most devastating day of my life. She went away so suddenly and nobody was prepared. After a while, I overcome the loss by trying to do the very best in everything to make her proud. She’s in a better place now.
In conclusion, life will not always turns out the way you wanted it to be but we must always learn to keep going on and never give up.Life is a journey,not a destination.

At the end of the story titled “Through Thick and Thin”, Nadene and his little brother both successes in their life.

The ending of this story tell us about how strong this two little sibling arise after they lost their most beloved parent which makes me really like this ending very much. Nadene and his brother, Thomas lost their parent in such a tragic accident at the day that supposed to be the best day in their life which is Nadene graduation’s day. Both of their parent died while fortunately, she and her bother were saved. Days by days went away without their parent by their side but that not broke Nadene and Thomas’s passion to become a successful person. Even though Nadene sacrificed her dreamed job at Penang in order to stay with his little brother, but at the end, she managed to become CEO while his brother in now a degree holder. After all, everything that their went through paid off.

The most devastated incident in my life is when my precious handphone being robbed. Maybe for someone else it just an ordinary phone but not for me since that phone given by my mother. I felt terrible because I can’t even take care of a phone and I started to blame myself. Days goes by and I realized that they is no use to cry over the spilt milk. I make myself busy in order to forget about the incident and eventually its worked.

Losing our loved ones is hard but letting ourselves drown in sorrow was not the best option. We must learned to accept the fate and moving on . I personally proud with this siblings because of their determination to success in life. They did not let their sadness faded their dream away. Lastly, I hope that we can be as strong as them in term of facing the future.
