Kindred Spirit November 27, 2014 Share November 27, 2014 Thanksgiving isn't quite the same without Dorothy and the pies. I hope she's well and that we'll see her (at least) one more time before Dave says goodbye. I'm really struggling with the realization that we're seeing "the final" one of many bits. I savored the Halloween costumes that much more because I was alerted to the fact that it was the last time I'll be seeing that skit. Sigh. I'm finding it really hard, and painful, to wrap my head around the string of lasts. Dave's obvious enjoyment of so many little moments simultaneously lessens and enhances the sting. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4091-late-show-with-david-letterman-general-discussion/page/4/#findComment-604911
