"Spread over grass, i had once walked on, beneath trees that had once given me shade. On top of roses i once admired and beside fences i had once gossiped over. And after my friends had finished saying goodbye, a wind came along and took what was left of me into the air. As i looked down on the world i began to let go of it. I let go of white picket fences, cars in driveways, coffee cups and vaccume cleaners. I let go all of those things that which seem so ordinary, but when you put them together they make up a life, a life that really was one of a kind. Ill tell you something, it's not hard to die when you know you have lived, and i lived, oh how i lived".
This ending was one of the most haunting, sad and genuine goodbyes of a character. I do not know why, but it sticks with you. I guess in a way we all feel this way when we say goodbye to a loved one. Thanks for hitting on the head Edie Britt, you will be missed.
