Lorelai Victoria Gilmore – Reflections on my Life

A/N: This kinda just came to me. It's Lorelai as an old lady, writing in a book about her life and her reflections on it. This is my first chapter fic so please R&R. Tell me what you think of the first chapter so I can see whether I should bother continuing.

Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls, and if I did, why would I be writing fan fiction?

Intro

Looking back on my life I've had a good one. At this time when I could cark it anytime (because I'm old, though I'd never admit it!) I think it's good to reflect on what has passed.

Life with My Parents

I never got along particularly well with my parents. That's one of my few regrets. It broke my heart how when they died we weren't on good terms. As much as I hated to admit it I did love my parents, very much. When I was able to get back in contact with them at 32 I was a little bit relieved, though at the time I couldn't see it. When I told my mother that I was going to continue Friday Night Dinners after Rory graduated she seemed genuinely happy about it.

All I remember of my actual childhood is curtseying and frilly dresses. And how beautiful the snow was when it fell, how it seemed to come only for me at the time. I've never thought of my childhood as a pleasant one; however, I remained a child until I was at least 40! Although I had to grow up as soon as the strip turned pink, I never truly grew up.
