on how to sell the shoes.

Sir, we need a new tagline.

Sorry sir.

No, no you're right!

What do you think?

Anyone?

You're worth it?

I got that from you.

Another one.

You need this.

You're beginning to look like Kim Chui.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Big day today.

- Yeah.

You don't have to stay.

I wanna be here.

I'm still alive, Euge.

Good morning!

You have my yes, Euge.

I am presenting both shoes

to RF International.

Good job guys!

Euge, may the best shoe win.

Surprise!

I'm so proud of you!

Hey, ifs just me.

Hey, you're the most beautiful woman

I've ever seen.

I'm so flattered.

Ooops sorry!

Do you remember when you asked me...

If I could love someone knowing

that I'll only lose her in the end?

Now, I know the answer.

It's a no!

Because I will not lose her.

- I love you.

- Love you.

You better be ready for me

when you get better.

Good morning!

Wake up call!

Euge! It hurts!

Where?

It really, really hurts!

Sir!

It will be over soon so just relax, OK?

What is it?

She was the same way when the cancer

came back the second time.

It's as if her whole body

was beaten up.

Even her skin feels sore.

What can we do?

Don't worry!

She's taking her pain reliever.

It will take effect in just a while.

What else can we do?

Nothing, we just have to wait.

- Come with me.

- Yes, doctor.

Eugene we can try all of that

and some other options.

But there is no guarantee

she will get better.

She will get better.

Eugene, even medical specialist...

In fact, medical science,

there are limitations.

There's not much we can do.

What I'm telling you Eugene is

we cannot save her

She cannot be saved anymore.

Letting her go is not an option.

I prefer the last presentation.

What do you think?

We choose ADX!

- Yes!

- Yes!

That's mine.

Thank you very much.

Congrats! Congrats!

Good job!

- Congratulations.

- Congratulations to you too!

Congratulations Mico!

Sir.

Thank you!

Euge, that's life.

You can't win all the time.

Raffy?

We should always be happy,

and find joy in everything.

To her, being happy

is what life is all about.

She was a good daughter,

sister, and friend.

There's one in Seattle

and in New York.

I need to talk to your doctor tomorrow.

And here's one in Singapore...

I can feel that my body

can no longer take the chemo.

- I am so tired.

- Look, we have to believe.

We have to believe it will work, okay?

- We can't give up.

- What if it doesn't work?

Are you going to argue

with my doctors too?

Are you going to be angry again?

Be bitter with your life again?

And be mad at me?

My shoe lost, fine!

I don't care!

My Dad thinks I'm a fool.

I can take that!

All the races, I can lose them.

But you?

I can't lose you.

Not you!

I want to hear your eulogy for me.

Raffy.

Come on.

It's useless

if I don't hear it now, right?

- No!

- Euge, that's where I'm headed for.

The sooner you accept that,

the better for all of us.

For you it is!

But not for me!

Not for your mom.

Nor your dad!

Not for those you're leaving behind!

Don't give up on us!

Because we're not giving up on you!

Don't leave us!

Raffy...

Raffy, I love you!

Loving me doesn't mean

that I won't be dying soon.

I'm sorry for that truth.

Forgive me for giving up.

Just do this for me.

I'm sorry if I can't give my heart

to you anymore..

I'm sorry if I can't live long enough

to love you.

Please, Euge.

Let go.

I can't do it!

Yes, you can.

I can't!

You have to let me go.

Stop Eugene! Stop!

It's okay to stop once in a while.

Are you in pain?

I think ifs your heart that's in pain.

I'm okay with that.

It only means that it's still working.

Dad, Mom, thank you very, very much!

Thank you for loving me.

I love you, my baby.

I love you.

What does she want you to do?

If I stop,

it means I'm giving up on her.

Ls that so?

Maybe it's time for you to stop fighting

your own battle and join hers.

Tatang, I never knew that losing

would be this hard.

This is my most painful loss.

Because it is here

that you will gain most, son.

What is there to gain?

One day, you'll know the answer.

I love her Tatang.

And that is why you have to love her

more than you possibly can.

More than all your greatest fears.

That is what she's asking from you.

That she can go knowing that

you can make it without her.

Lord, can I do this?

Ls there anything

Eugene Cirvero, can't do?

I believe in you, son.

I believe in you.

Thank you, Tatang.

Thank you.

- So sweet!

- Wow!

Am I allowed to have that, mom?

That's not for you.

That's for your Dad.

Raffy?

It was just supposed to be

an ordinary day.

I was having the worst week of my life.

I never thought that, that day,

the best possible thing could happen.

I met her.

And I fell in love.

It took me just one day

to fall in love with her.

I just never thought it would

take me forever to say goodbye.

And how do you say goodbye

to somebody you love?

She gave me reason

to wake up every morning.

A reason to be thankful

for each day that ends.

She changed me.

You know before I met her,

I thought I was already everything.

But now,

I finally feel I'm something.

Because she loved me.

She taught me how to love.

And she showed me that sometimes

to love is to let go.

And I love her that much.

But I'm now willing to let her go.

Raffy, I love you.

And I will go on loving you even though

I know that I'm going to lose you.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming into my life.

You know,

maybe we don't really say goodbye.

Maybe ifs, till we meet again?

I know I'll see you again one day.

And when that happens,

it will be forever.

Forever starts today... with you.

Give us the courage to change

the things we can.

And the humility to accept

the things that we can't.

Raffy's life may be short,

but it was beautiful.

A life well lived.

Alright.

Raffy!

Drama queen!

Tatang was right.

What I thought

was my most painful loss,

Gave me my greatest gain.

In loving her,

I gained a new heart.

A heart that is stronger.

A heart that is bigger.

A heart that will keep on living

to tell her story...

Our story.

A story of hope, love of a day,

and of forever.

Euge...

It's time to let her go.

Till we meet again.

I love you.
