Dear Celia. I don't know your last name and I don't know where you live, but I know you have two young boys -- twins, I believe. And I know you didn't have a Flash Forward. I understand how terrifying that is and how powerless you must be feeling. But I want you to know that you are not alone and that your situation is not as hopeless as you think. Our paths were meant to cross. I didn't know how. I didn't know when. But things have changed now. Things are no longer going to unfold as I had feared. My gift to you is release from that dread... From the feeling that you're no longer in control. We will never meet. I will never know you. So live your life. Live every day. And know that the future is unwritten. Make the most of that. — Al Gough, FlashForward
