Does anyone happen to remember what Mary said to her colleagues in the final episode? It had to do with reminding herself that the people she works with are just the people she works with and not her family....and then realizing that they really ARE like family. I am retiring soon and wanted to either quote that line or paraphrase it for MY colleagues...

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me:)

Here you go. *Clears throat*

"Sometimes I get concerned about being a career woman. I get to thinking that my job is too important to me. And I tell myself that the people I work with are just the people I work with, and not my family. And then last night I thought, "What is a family, anyway?" They're just people who make you feel less alone, and really loved. That's what you've done for me. Thank you for being my family."

:( Does anybody have a Kleenex? LOL The really sad part is I knew that speech from memory!

Awww, Kristen! You're going to make me cry. :crying:
That is the most saddest quote Mary ever said.

I know. *Grabs Kleenex from Mary's desk* It's one of the classic moments from TMTMS. Never fails to choke me up!

Thanks a lot Kristen! You're awesome! A real MTM fan! I hope my colleagues get as choked up by this as we all did!
