Finally, Final?

The word "final" has assumed a whole new different meaning to me just recently.
We've used and abused it, but we have never really gotten anywhere close to it.
Usually when things are final, they are never to be altered again and more often than not, they are put aside because there is nothing else we can do about them.
But I have been using that word for the past couple of weeks, and so is he, but we never get around to finalizing anything.
Hopefully things will be clear soon and "final" will be synonymous to "happy ending" and not as in "final destination".
