"I don't know how to say goodbye."

CW's vampire saga 'The Originals' has finally come to a close after a long, fruitful and extremely intense run of almost six years. The fifth and final season wrapped up on Wednesday and to say things have been teary is an understatement. The Mikaelson family, who were at the center of the drama finally found what they were looking for all along - the courage to move on. While the fan in me wanted to hold on to every thread of life in 'When the Saints Go Marching In', a part of me knew deep down that it was time. Still, none of us knew how to say goodbye. Such strange times we live in - this season was the best of the five and yet it was the last.
