For years now, my sisters and I have been following the mother-daughter tandem of Lorelie & Rory Gilmore. Unfortunately, the series has come to an end… after all, Rory and finished high school and college… That’s 7 beautiful, captivating seasons of the love-hate relationship of a mother and daughter. The witty writing of Amy Sherman Palladino has truly captured the hearts of her audience, young and old. I will miss tv nights with my sisters, specially our youngest, Mae, when we watch and react to everything that happens in the show. Even now that I don’t live with them anymore, we still call one another whenever the show comes on… just like old times… we’ll just have to find another show to link us!
