LOST in thought

Can't quite grasp the intensity the finale had on me. Such a thing of beauty. In a world where death is so feared, it takes a television show to literally show us that yes, death is inevitable, and no, it doesn't have to be scary. Just think, if life after death meant that those who you are meant to be with wait for you to join them, then death can be such a beautiful thing.

Most of us already know who those people will be, and this knowledge can't help but make you feel a certain inner peace. If this is telling us that what is most important in life is not what you do or what you have, but rather the relationships you cultivate, then most of us have life all wrong.

As I watched, flashbacks of my own life ran through my mind, thoughts that made me happy, sad, and thankful for where I am now. Then my life's questions unraveled, and I began to wonder if so far, have I done things right. But then I knew, something must have gone right, because I know there's at least one person I'm meant to be with in the end.

  1. I've heard a lot of people hating on the ending but I was incredibly moved, too! I literally cried for 45 minutes. Glad to know I'm not the only one. Well, if heaven's a big tailgate then we'll definitely get to have a burger together :)

  2. Lauren, ok, up my count to at least 2. Or maybe even 4 more... :) I'll bring the dessert!
