North Carolina State University fans say goodbye to quarterback Philip Rivers as he walks off of the field for the last time in a NCSU uniform following his team's 56-26 victory over Kansas at the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando, Florida. Rivers leaves NCSU with numerous team and ACC passing records as well as the love from Wolpack fans and respect from the national media. "I hate to know it's my last time ever," said Rivers. "But if I had to pick a way for it to come to an end, I would want it to be just like this."

The column is a celebration of the struggles, triumphs and tears we experience as we travel from birth to death. Our goal was to document moments in time that might otherwise be missed; sometimes it's the tiniest incident in one's life that has the most profound effect. When on assignment for the column, we looked for that one photo that tells a whole story. Some are the result of a found moment we came across on our daily assignments or our daily existence. For others, we thought of a specific event, like a first haircut or last dance, and sought out a subject who might illustrate the idea.
