Its year 2000, I find out I am pregnant. I turn on the TV to take my mind out of it and the Gilmore girls is on. I start watching the show and I see a single mom just like I was about to become (even tough I had a boyfriend I wasn't married and for my family that is big!)... and I see hope and I see fun and I see a gift brought to me.
I never thought of being a mother, probably because my relationship with mine is sooo shitty... But well, there was a show about the ups and downs of a family of two. A mother struggling to make a child happy and a child who loved and cherished her mother so deeply almost unseen ever before. And that was more than that, they shared something bigger than blood called : friendship! That gave me strength and my son turns 6 this year, and he is the one thing I treasure in the world!
And the years went by, and as I struggled with issues so similar to those showed in the show... parents difficulties, heartbreak, anxiety, money issues, the show always gave me hope, and I saw myself as Lorely and sometimes as Rory and some people say i even reminded them of the show by the way I act, dress and talk... and that was unconscious I swear... I don't look like them, I don't have English as a first language... and damn I wish I had bodies like those...
Yes, I saw the last episode, and for people like me who feel so sad about the end... just think like me... the show was never about a happy ending ( after all, the ending kind of sucked... I mean... no ending would please me... I need the Gilmore Girls for the rest of my life! It was therapy, it was company, it was a friend when I needed one!) But hey, even with them we learned nothing is for sure, nothing is forever... so lets take it as another lesson we learned from them and continue hoping and wishing that everyone will be able one day to say they have a friend like Rory and Lorely had each other.
Cheers!
