“I want to thank each and every one of my colleagues--all of you. And it has been an honor of a lifetime. It truly has been. And it is something that I will take with me for the rest of my life. And my family will too. But I really mean this: I think there are so many good people who are serving here and who have served here and will continue to serve in honor and dignity and respect and making sure that we do the job we were elected to do. With that, let me just say to all of you, thank you for the kindness you have showed me, the friendship. And I am not a ``big dog'' person. So I need each one of you all to be my friend, and I appreciate that so much.
