A new day at the city begins, and Clyde wakes up. In fact he awoke by the incredible noise the Casagrande were doing so early.

"God! Now I understand what is living in a big family", Clyde said to himself, as he gets down of the bed and goes to the bathroom. He tries to open the door, but is locked.

"Occupied!" a bird-like voice said from inside the bathroom.

Few minutes later, Sergio flies out of the bathroom. Clyde is startled. The parrot was using the bathroom?! Anyway, the boy takes a shower, and after this he combs his hair and walks to the dining room. A huge breakfast was waiting for him, cooked by Rosa. All the rest of the family are gathered in the table. When everyone have finished to eat, they decide to say goodbye to Clyde all together.

"People have dreams they want to make into reality. The key to succeed on this is never give up. Clyde, I tell you this so don't forget it. Keep going", Maria said to him.

"Thank you, Mrs. Santiago", he replied.

"Here. Take this money. I hope it would be enough for you", Maria said, and gives to Clyde the bills.

"All of us contribute with one dollar", Hector said.

"I give two dollars", Carlota said.

"We can only wish you good luck, and please take care", Carlos said.

"Can we take one last picture together, please?" Frida asked.

So, all of them take a selfie with Clyde.

"Before I go, I have to tell you I'm very grateful with your generosity and kindness towards me", Clyde said. "On these days is really hard to find a family so lovely and united. Please keep in that way. God bless you so much."

The Casagrande are touched by these nice words the boy said. CJ can't take it anymore and hugs Clyde tightly. Carlino also joins the hug. It was too difficult to see a very good friend as Clyde to depart.

"I'll miss you!" CJ said.

"Me either!" Carlino said.

"I'll miss you too, buddies", Clyde said with joy.

And after he says goodbye to everyone, he walks down the apartment building and right to the main gate. There, Bobby and Ronnie Anne are waiting him inside a pick-up truck.

"Hey Clyde! Are you gonna come or what?" Ronnie said.

"Guys? What's the matter?" he asked.

"Well, we thought it wouldn't be fair to drive you to your next destiny. So the grandpa borrowed me his truck. What do you say, bro?" Bobby said to him.

"You don't have to do this, guys", Clyde said.

"We do want. Is the least we can do for you. We're friends after all", Ronnie said with a smile.

With any other excuse to say, Clyde boards into the truck. Bobby then turns on the engine and drives away.

"So, where do you want to go, now?" Bobby asked while driving.

"Let me see", Clyde said.

He begins to check inside his backpack and finds the documents of his adaption. He reads the papers carefully until he finds the name of the hospital.

"Metropolitan Hospital", Clyde said.

Immediately, they head right to the hospital. Once they arrive, Clyde gets down the truck and runs to the hospital, but first he has something to tell to Bobby and Ronnie Anne.

"Wait me here, guys. I'll be back soon", Clyde said.

"Sure, bro", Bobby said, as he and his sister wait outside.

Meanwhile, Clyde walks to the lobby. After five sporadic minutes waiting, Clyde finally exits the hospital, but with a sad face.

"What happened?" Ronnie asked him.

"It's hopeless. The receptionist showed me my medical registry when I was adopted. The only clue I have from my real mother is that is a woman called Trisha Spencer. But there're no photos of her or any other information about her", Clyde said, disappointed.

"Ohh… I'm so sorry, Clyde", Ronnie said, rubbing his back.

"We can go and find it over the city", Bobby added.

"No. It's useless. Finding her will be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I did all of this for nothing…"

The poor boy begins to get depressed. All his hopes begin to disappear just like his wish to meet his mother. This really was a bad ending. Bobby and Ronnie Anne can only tried to console their friend.

"Better if we… get out of this place", Bobby said, concerned about his bro.

And so they approach to the truck. But then, Clyde notices a black skinned woman sit on a bench near the hospital's gate. She looks worried. In that moment, a strange feeling of curiosity enters in Clyde's mind. With an impulse given by this feeling, he walks right to that woman. Ronnie Anne and Bobby just watch.

"Hey, lady", Clyde said. "Are you ok?"

"Not really", the woman replied.

"Excuse me for snooping in this way."

"It's ok. Can I talk with you, please?"

"About?"

"About my trouble. I heard when you talk to someone you can feel better."

"Ok. What do you want to talk about?"

"You know, this place brings me bad memories. On this hospital, I lost my son."

"Really? How?"

"He only had one year old. I was so happy to have my first child. But my former husband didn't think so. One month after he was born, his father left us… I was devastated, and even more with the high stress I suffered because I didn't have a job to get money and pay for all the needs my son needed. So I have no choice… I couldn't keep him anymore… and I gave him into adoption… I moved to another city, but several months after I just realized the big mistake I commit. I was so regretful, and when I came back here to recover my son… it was late…"

The woman begins to cry. Clyde is also affected by this gruesome story.

"I don't know if this would cheer you up a little bit, but I also lost my parents. Well, my real parents. I don't know who my biological father or mother are. And I came here to find some answers, but I found nothing…" he said.

"I'm so sorry to hear that, kid", the woman said. "It's really hard to lose your family… That's the reason I come here these days, to beg God that whatever my son is, I hope he's in good health and with a good family…"

"Yes… I'm sorry if I made you feel worse…"

"No, it's fine. In fact, thank you for listening to me. You're a very sweet boy…"

"Thanks. Before I go, let me introduce myself as a courtesy. I'm Clyde McBride."

"Ok. I'm Trisha Spencer."

After hearing this name, Clyde's heart almost stops. Then, his face is covered by a sense of surprise. The name of that woman was exactly the same of Clyde's biological mother. A strong feeling of euphoria runs through his veins. He falls on his knees.

"What's the matter?" the woman said.

"I never met my mother personally… I just know her name… and her name is… Trisha Spencer…"

The woman then gets amazed by this.

"When… did you get adopted…?"

"March 24th, 2007"

"I… I… I gave my son in adoption… five days before… on March 19th, 2007…"

Tears begin to sprout from Clyde's eyes. Trisha can't speak any word, only walks towards the boy and ducks. She then puts her arms on his shoulders.

"Is it possible…" she said.

"Mom?" Clyde said, voice breaking.

It was a miracle. The mother who stayed separated from her son for so long time, was just meeting again with him. Immediately, both of them recognize this, and in a matter of seconds, they hug each other.

"Please tell me you're my mom. Please tell me!" Clyde said, crying.

"I do believe… I do believe it! Oh God, thank you!" Trisha exclaimed.

It was a heartwarming moment. Spiteful events may separate them to different paths, but it appears The Lord gave them another chance. Another chance to meet each other once again. When you believe that you can get anything in this life and you have faith that you will succeed, you'll get it. Perseverance is the key to find your greatest award, and Clyde finally got it.

"Look at yourself. You've grown up so much… My son!" Trisha said with tears of joy running down her cheeks.

"Mother… I finally found you… Thank you, God… Thank you, God…" Clyde said.

"Well, we're not sure, yet. We better do some DNA exams, just to be sure…" Trisha said.

"Yeah. Good idea."

Only one step was avoiding this family gather again. After this moment, Clyde and Trisha go with the help of Bobby and Ronnie Anne to the genetic labs, where they ask for a DNA exam. The scientists agree to do an exam for both of them. The excitement was inevitable, and the Santiago siblings can also feel it.

The doctors take one blood sample from the boy and the woman, then send both of them to analyze. This process takes fifteen minutes. During that waiting time, Clyde and Trisha decide to pray. Bobby and Ronnie also join, begging to God that everything goes for good.

FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER

The doctor in charge of this case approaches to them with the final results of the exam. Everyone are nervous. They don't know if it's a good news or a bad news. Tension can almost be touched with the hands.

"Please, Lord. Make your miracle here. Please Lord…" Clyde whispered before the doctor comes.

"Alright. We finished the exams. And we got the results", the doctor said. "And the results are:"

One minute of suspense…. Wait for it….

"Positive!" the doctor exclaimed.

This means Clyde is the real biologic son of Trisha. They can't avoid the emotion and hug. Everyone is celebrating this. Clyde succeed at the end.

"One day I said I will find my mother. God listened me, and during this whole way, he helped me. And at the end, I found my mother", Clyde said with joy.

This was perhaps the best day of the life of the young boy.

That same night, after saying goodbye to his best friends Bobby and Ronnie Anne, Clyde decides to move to the house where his mother is living right now. The prodigy son was back.

"I hope we can begin our lives again, son", Trisha said to him.

"I hope so", he replied. "I promise to be a great son for you… mother."

"Ok… Come on, let's go inside. Tell me everything about your life and what did you get…"

And a comfortable conversation between son and mother begin.

Meanwhile, in Royal Woods, Howard and Harold put a signboard with the words "FOR SALE" outside of their house. Hours later they picked up all their belongings and take them out of the house, after they found another new place to live, but this single.

"Well, it's done", Harold said after giving the last hit with the hammer to the signboard to nail it on the ground.

"I can't believe we're doing this, but something tells me it's the best…" Howard said.

"I feel it, either. I guess this is the farewell. I really enjoyed being with you, Howard. I'll miss you", Harold said and hugs Howard.

"I'll miss you too, big bear", Howard said and hugs him back.

And so they grab their respective luggage and walk away, taking different paths. Their new life has just begun, and all due to the same love they have not for them, but for Clyde. They know this is the best way to give tribute to their missing son. God doesn't leave them alone, and follows each of them to their next destiny.

At the same time this is happening, in the Loud House, Luna stays alone in her room, closes the door, and kneels to pray to Jesus. This is her following pray:

"Dear God, I have to thank you so much, because you freed me from death and evil. My life is a new one, and through this miracle you did on me, I know you're doing much more miracles. Thank you Jesus because you'll help us to stand up from the ashes, to fight against immorality and spite, to help those who are wounded or afraid, and to proclaim at high voice that you're the Messiah. You're the only one who can save us. You're the only God in this world. Thank you so much God, because my family and my friends will be blessed by your magnificent power. Thank you, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen."

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16
