Colours Don't Show

Richard and Emily Gilmore saw only the negative in their daughter. She got pregnant out of wedlock at 16, not that she raised a sensible and intelligent young woman. They saw that she worked as a maid, but failed to notice she worked her way up. They failed to notice the intelligent young woman, but only saw a weird lady who liked to make her vegetables talk, make strange references to things they'd never heard of, dress inappropriately and date unusual men. This bothered Lorelai Gilmore for many years, all through her childhood Lorelai was overshadowed by her parent's friend's children. In her adult life she was overshadowed by her mistakes.

Lorelai was often jealous of her daughter's relationship with her parents. Lorelai never had a good relationship with either her parents of her grandparents. The fact that her daughter had a good relationship with both hurt Lorelai sometimes. She'd learnt the hard way that love was much more important than money, her daughter she hoped had also learnt that lesson, however she seemed to have learnt the easy way. Lorelai Gilmore was after all happy for her daughter, she was a good mother and she wanted the best for her daughter.

Eventually Lorelai decided to focus on the things that she could control and the people who loved her. She focussed on her daughter, giving her everything she could; Luke who was a fantastic friend and meant a great deal to her, Sookie, Jackson and the Dragonfly. She loved her parents but when she finally accepted that they would always have a strange and usually strained relationship, she got along a lot better. It may have taken her 36 years but she let go of the uneasy childhood that had plagued her for her entire adult life.
