Al final de ese recorrido, el autor resume: "Yo quiero a mi mamá y, saben qué?"; la respuesta tarda una página en aparecer y repentinamente, junto a la imagen de un gran abrazo entre una madre y su pequeño, podemos leer en letras mayúsculas: "íELLA ME QUIERE A MÍ!" y luego otra afirmación hecha con absoluta certeza: "y siempre me querrá".
