I can’t claim that I’m an Ultimate Viewer. I haven’t watched every single episode. I haven’t always finished the shows that I start and that I soon decide don’t interest me. But I love Oprah and I really love the Oprah Show. I know there are haters out there. People who don’t share my affinity for O, but I can think of very few people who use their fame and fortune to be such profound difference makers in our society. And so, if for no other reason, I love the lady.
Oprah has empowered me in moments when I least expected it. She’s made me see that people with so much less have done so much more. She has given the world hundreds of smiling faces… little lights that otherwise would not get to shine so bright…ordinary janes and joes that we can look up to. Strive to be like. Learn to love. I could say all the obvious cliches… I’ve laughed, cried, loved and learned with Oprah because her show is just that good.
As I’ve watched the final shows … more specifically the last two days of fantastic farewells, I find myself seeing that there are few types of folks Oprah has not touched. She is a perpetual pebble splashing puddles and spreading a ripple through and through. For me, it is sad to say goodbye to the Oprah show and I don’t know that anyone can ever fill her Louboutin’s. Farewell Miss O. You will be missed.
