I don't wanna sound like a softie or something, but I have to admit: I haven't shead tears like this since "Goodbye, Michael". This series might just have some of the best character arcs of all time...Ron and his sttuberness in opening himself to the world to the great Ron Swanson and that final scene at the river, Ann finally finding happiness within her and others, Andy descovering where he actually belongs, April and Donna basically becoming real characters, Terry/Jerry/Larry/Barry/Garry Gergich from the forgotten one to the most beloved at the city, Tom learning from all of his falures (despite his ending being a bit of a "Wtf moment"), Ben becoming one of the greatest characters and, of course, Leslie, the embodyness of hard work and love for what she does and its reasons, the "why" we all spend our lives searching for. The truth is, when I strated this show I read a review that said "I don't wanna sound dramatic, but this show really changed me"...if you're reading this, I want you to know: you might be, quite literally, correct!!!!!
