Dear Oprah:

I never thought you’d have a very large impact on my life. Then I got into the book business.

Oprah, my relationship with you has been very like my relationship with God. At times I felt like I depended on you, that you controlled my life. And then there were times I thought you’d abandoned me altogether.

I will miss you the same way I miss having God in my life. So, take that any way you’d like.
