It's over but, I want more...

I did it! I finished Breaking Dawn, the final chapter in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga. Oh My Gosh! I loved it! Actually, I finished it a little over an hour ago but, I had to make and eat dinner before I lost anymore time since I put cooking dinner off an extra half an hour to finish the book. And, I am only disappointed in the fact that that series has come to an end. I just don't want to, nor do I know how to, let go of Bella, Edward and Jacob. It is like saying good-bye to family or friends that you have such a strong and everlasting love for, knowing you will never see them again. I cried. I think I cried on and off throughout the last 50 or so pages. I am so deeply in love with the 3 main characters that my heart breaks to say good-bye to them. And, for those of you who haven't finished reading it, I am not giving anything away in this. I am simply referring to the pain I feel knowing that the series is done. Granted, I am still looking forward to Midnight Sun which is Twilight as told from Edward's point of view. But, it won't be the same. Their journey is over and it saddens me to know that I no longer have the telling of their lives to look forward to reading. Anyway, in true Stephenie Meyer fashion, I laughed, I cried and I truly felt each emotion that she gave The Cullen, Swan and Quileute families. Stephenie Meyer is truly gifted to be able to draw so much emotion and devotion out of her readers. I feel that she is gift to this world and I can't wait to read whatever she comes up with next. Who else has finished Breaking Dawn? Do you find it as hard to say farewell to Bella, Edward and Jacob as I do? Did you cry like a little baby at the end like I did? I can't even make myself put Breaking Dawn in my bookcase yet because I am so completely not at all ready to let go and move on. Before Breaking Dawn was released, while waiting for its release, I tried to rely on an old favorite in Dean Koontz but, he has lost his sparkle for me since reading what Stephenie has to offer. I crave more from her and, that says a lot because, before her, I had a tendency to gobble anything that Dean Koontz would put out, up. Don't get me wrong. I still adore Dean Koontz. He is another magnificent author but, his star has dimmed for me under the blinding shine from Stephenie Meyer. She fascinates me! I bid a fond farewell to my Edward whom I fell in love with...yes, he is that captivating even if he is only in the form of words. And, I bid another fond farewell to Bella and Jacob and the rest of the Cullen, Swan and Quileute family!
