Fun girlfriend,

and an amazing friend.

I'm glad one of us can find humor in this.

The alternative would be to say goodbye.

I'm not ready for that yet.

Come here.

Take care of everyone while I'm gone, ok?

I will.

I'm sorry!

I wanted to at least pretend to be strong for you.

Damon...

This isn't gonna work out if you just shut down.

I need you to live your life.

Are you afraid?

More sad, than afraid.

Hey, talk to me.

I can help you.

How? How are you going to help me?

How?

She'll face cognitive and verbal decline,

motor loss, personality change...

Elena, stop it! You're scaring me!

Why? This is the truth.

...and meanwhile she could still develop

morphine-resistant pain.

Please, make it stop! It hurts.

You're saying that there's no feasible medical solution?

I really wish there were.

The promise that love could be eternal...

and I had that with Damon.

He's always been there for me when I needed him.

And I'm selfish and I'm so in love with you,

and I don't want to lose you

I'm not in denial.

It's hope! And I'm hold onto that hope

with everything that I've got

because there's no way that...

Today will be different.

It has to be.

I'll smile and I will be beliveable.

I think you find a way to get out of bed this morning.

And that makes you the strongest person I know.

It's a good day.

Sorry.

You first.

Place where you should go at least once in your life...

New York!

In a loft in Tribeca.

and when you're not working there, you're...

You're on the couch, pouring me wine

and massaging my feet after a long day at the O.R.

Kids?

Yeah, of course, eventually.

You got it all figured out, don't you?

Time out, remember?

For five minutes?

It's your birthday!

you have made a wish and blown out the candles.

To be alive.

That's my wish.

Alright universe!

Enough screwing around!

We're ready for the good stuff!

That's three! Do you need a bib?

You should be on the floor!

I am not even drunk.

My tolerance is, like, way up here.

Is the fun police!

Look! No hands!

Damn it, Elena!

Elena!

Elena...

Elena got knocked out, and she's not waking up.

The doctors keep telling me that there's nothing physically wrong with her.

I don't know, Jo's still running some tests to find that out.

When this girl fell 30 feet, she hit her head just right

and it didn't kill her and it didn't paralyze her?

and instead it...

It healed her?

People in my profession use the term:

Spontaneous Remission, to explain...

What cannot be explained.

What was that for?

I thought I was never going to see you again.

And I couldn't think of a worse way to die.

Dear diary,

today will be different.

I will smile.

It will be genuine.

Because today is the day that I get to live again.

I've never felt more alive.

There was something different about him.

He was exciting.

Like anything was possible.

To be your husband,

your partner,

the father of your kids.

I love you!

And I will love you until I take my last breath on this earth.

After med school, I came home to Mystic Falls.

It felt right.

It's where I wanted to grow old, and...

I did.

And that's my life.

Weird, messy, complicated, sad,

wonderful, amazing and above all,

Epic!

And I'm going to live it as best I can,

for as long as I can.
