I'm sitting here, in complete silence. I just read the interview. I will always support Lauren, because she has been more of a role model to me than many. I have, for the first time, really felt that this is it, this is goodbye. I have decided to send a boquet of flowers to both Alexis and Lauren on my own. Not to ask for another season, (it's not to say that I don't believe in the mandate any longer) but to thank them each for what they have given to me, to us, the Gilmore Girls community of fans. And to let them know personally, what the show has meant for me over the past 7 seasons. And finally, to wish them well in whatever direction life takes them! I wish them nothing but the very best! And selfishly, wish that it was Gilmore Girls...but understand that all good things must come to an end! (But never in our hearts!)
The friendships that this show has built are amazing and there are a few with whom I know I will continue to grow with and continue down life's journey with and for that, I am eternally grateful for! This forum, this site, are amazing and beautiful and I hope that they will continue to stand tall and proud! Heidi, in the short time that I've had the opportunity to get to know you a little, you have shown nothing but the utmost dediction and loyalty, care and compassion! You truly are amazing and beautiful! The writers of the show and all the characters of the show have been there just when I (and many others) have needed them!
Gilmore Girls is an amazing piece of art (as a dear friend has just described) and art never dies...it allows people to feel, it allows people to think, it allows people to unite, it allows people to express as they may not have done otherwise. The Gilmore Girls, not the show but- the people that we have been so privilaged to meet, to get to know, to allow into our lives, to walk through life with, will always hold a very special place in my life!
I have now just turned on Where You Lead[/i] and am reminded of just how appropriate this song is for the show and for life!
Loving you the way I do
I only wanna be with you
And I would go to the ends of the earth
Cause, darling, to me that's what you're worth
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
If you're out on the road
Feeling lonely, and so cold
All you have to do is call my name
And I'll be there on the next train
Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead
I always wanted a real home with flowers on the window sill
But if you want to live in New York City, honey, you know I will
I never thought I could get satisfaction from just one man
But if anyone can keep me happy, you're the one who can
And where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead (repeat)
I'm gonna follow were you lead (I'm gonna follow were you lead) I'm gonna follow were you lead (I'm gonna follow were you lead ) I'm gonna follow were you lead
The Gilmore Girls has lead to many wonderful and amazing things in my life in the seven seasons it's been in my life! And for that I'm forever thankful!
Thank you Lauren, Alexis, and all the other very important actors and writers, producers, crew, and network, for allowing the Gilmore Girls to become a special friend to many of us! You will never be forgotten! Thank you and all the best to everyone!
