My friends all know I’m a Gilmore Girls superfan, but most probably don’t know why the show means so much to me. For me, it’s a link to someone I miss very much—my stepfather.

Thanks to the @electricliterature.com team for giving me space to explore this in my latest essay.

“I realized my love for Gilmore Girls had never been just about the quirky citizens of Stars Hollow… My love had also grown because I saw my stepfather in the men who filled the role of Rory’s father in Christopher’s absence.” buff.ly/E78ItBX
