"Hoda, we love you so much," Savannah Guthrie said on "Today" as she and Jenna Bush Hager took Kotb's hands in theirs. "And when you look around and you see these tears, they're love. You are so loved. And honestly, I don't think any of us can imagine - we don't want to imagine this place without you." This statement exemplifies the deep bonds formed in the workplace and the love that exists among team members.
"But also, I just wanna say I am so proud of my friend. You have guts. For someone to leave at the top of their game, to leave something that's wonderful, that you love where it's easy and comfortable and beautiful and fun and say, 'But I dream even bigger for myself in the great unknown.' You have so much guts. You inspire me, I love you." This heartfelt acknowledgment represents the courage involved in making life-changing decisions.
Weatherman Al Roker became emotional and simply said, "I have never known anyone like you, and I've known you forever, and I love you." This sentiment emphasizes the deep connection and lasting friendships that can be nurtured in a professional setting.
Rounding out the sweet sentiments included Sheinelle Jones, who chimed in to tell viewers that the entire group is a "family." Hoda has a relationship with every single person on this couch in her own way... It shows how work environments can foster long-lasting relationships, making goodbye even more bittersweet.
