Four years ago, I felt like Lorelai Gilmore imparting last minute words of wisdom to Rory in the series finale of Gilmore Girls. A mixture of sweet panic and joyful expectation that I, like Lorelai, gave my daughter all she needs to live well. Only then, Katie was leaving for college; the fictitious Rory was joining Obama's on-the-road press corps. Katie flew through college in 3 1/2 years and started her hotel career in Arizona. In couple weeks, we'll attend her graduation ceremony and then head back to Illinois. This time, instead of hearing Lorelai's frenzied speech in my mind, I'll remember Emily Gilmore's composed voice saying, "It's an honor to be your grandmother, Rory Gilmore."
