“I want you to know, the best gift you could give me are your wonderful words,” the E-mail read. “I’ve been sitting in cold, rainy, Chicago drinking Chai Tea.. (and yes splurged on a croissant) reading all your wonderful emails. I am deeply moved.”
The 57-year-old veteran host also pleaded with followers who may be feeling “sad to see the show leave,” to stay positive.

“Instead of sadness, I hope you will channel the energy of hopefulness you received from the show in whatever form it gave to you. No sadness from me, I look forward to my NEXT CHAPTER on OWN.”
Additionally, Oprah said she had paid a visit to her mother, and now plans to “Take a break, find some sun, and get some REST.”
“Don’t think I’ll be emailing on vaca. But will be in touch when I return,” she added.
