in my mind, the series ended with barney and robin’s wedding. a snippet of ted seeing the mother playing bass on stage. finally meeting her at the train station. flash forwards of their lives together. ted proposes. they have an amazing life and two children together. she slowly gets sick and eventually passes away. and in order to honor her memory, he sits his kids down and tells them the long, amazing story of how he met the love of his life.
and that’s the true story of how ted met the mother, the love of his life. at least, that’s the story i will be remembering.
