I have been watching since 1991.
I have laughed, cried, jumped for joy, believed, been inspired, yelled at the television, fast forwarded, re-watched, rewound, discussed with friends, read the books, bought the products, lusted after, learned, wondered, rolled my eyes and felt better about myself all thanks to a guest I welcomed with open arms into my home every day.
Relatable, smart, funny, and an excellent interviewer, Oprah is more than just a talk show host, face of a magazine, cable network and radio mogul, philanthropist, or one of Forbes’ most powerful and not to mention wealthiest people, she is an institution.
She makes me believe that if we ever do meet in real life, we could be friends. Her public struggles make her human and her giving heart makes her a saint.
Tomorrow, after 25 years, the final Oprah Winfrey Show will air.
You better believe there will be tears.
I will miss her daily visits.

I could NOT agree more sister!!!
I wrote about her last week for Mama Kat's workshop and watching yesterday, the goodbyes, her surprise and awe, I was just overcome. She has "CHANGED THE WORLD" and proven to me that I can do anything.
I am so glad I'm not alone in my "tears" **HUGS**
Already?! I don't want anymore – just occasionally if I come across it – but I might have to watch this one. It is sad. But maybe it will open a door to something else.
I am so with you, Tonya. I haven't had the time to watch the show as much as I used to these past years, but somehow it was important to me to catch this last season. (I haven't been able to see the finale yet. Kids… they don't want to watch the grup's shows!) I have been enjoying it so much, and at the same time have been feeling so sad that it is now over. But there's always OWN…
I wonder who will be the talk show for the next generation???
talk show host I meant to say… : )
