If something makes you sad when it ends, it must have been pretty wonderful when it was happening. If you step back and look at the whole picture, if you're brave enough to allow yourself the gift of a really wide perspective, if you do that, you'll see that the end is not sad, Rebecca. It's just the start of the next incredibly beautiful thing.
"Maybe I didn't fight in a war, but I'm allowed to have a crappy day just like everyone else. Something that was really important to me ended. I know it was a little goofy, but it was a big part of my life, and when big things end, it's hard not to imagine how they started, so please, if you could just ease up for maybe two seconds". I really love how Kevin put his emotions that precisely and frankly and his awareness to the "right" to be down. It took me years to get that, and it really feels good - making you more connected both to the real self and to others.
