Maralyn's Final Words

I tell you, once I kind of knew my time was up, I tried to get in as many good sound bites as I could. I cannot thank you enough for selecting me and providing me with this opportunity, which not only will I never forget for my entire life, but I mean, this experience alone;just this, just these past nine days;has meant so much to me at 52. Hey, I can feel myself really coming alive.

Did this all really happen? Did I do this for nine days? I'll tell you. I loved it when we won our first challenge. Oh, hell, I'm tired; I don't want to ramble on. This is all just so unbelievable, but I can feel my whole life changing. I have no idea where this is going to lead me, but I think I'm going to have a second chance at life.
