im not crying because of the speech, I'm crying because I know ill never get a chance to *say* this speech because my mom is so horrible. if I ever have kids, lorelai gilmore will forever be my inspiration. no kid should have to feel like my mother makes me feel

[@muskansharma9949]

Headmaster Charleston, faculty members, fellow students, family and friends, welcome. We never thought this day would come. We prayed for its quick delivery, crossed days off our calendars, counted hours, minutes and seconds and now that it's here, I'm sorry it is, because it means leaving friends who inspire me and teachers who've been my mentors, so many people who've shaped my life, and my fellow students lives impermeably and forever. I live in two worlds. One is a world of books. I've been a resident of Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County, hunted the white whale aboard the Pequod, fought alongside Napoleon, sailed a raft with Huck and Jim, committed absurdities with Ignatius J. Reilly, rode a sad train with Anna Karenina and strolled down Swann's Way. It's a rewarding world, but my second one is by far superior. My second one is populated with characters slightly less eccentric, but supremely real, made of flesh and bone, full of love, who are my ultimate inspiration for everything. Richard and Emily Gilmore are kind, decent, unfailingly generous people. They are my twin pillars, without whom I could not stand. I am proud to be their grandchild. But my ultimate inspiration comes from my best friend, the dazzling woman from whom I received my name and my life's blood, Lorelai Gilmore. My mother never gave me any idea that I couldn't do whatever I wanted to do or be whomever I wanted to be. She filled our house with love and fun and books and music unflagging in her efforts to give me role models from Jane Austen to Eudora Welty to Patti Smith. As she guided me through these incredible eighteen years, I don't know if she ever realized that the person I most wanted to be was her. Thank you Mom, you are my guidepost for everything.

[@JeanHelen]

I feel like this moment meant so much to Richard and Emily as they never got to see Lorelai graduate high school and also lacked appreciation from her.

[@worstnetizenbasedonmicroso653]

Rory is so lucky to have supportive mother. Instead of taking advantage of her hierarchy as a mom, Lorelai supports every actions that her daughter wants to be.

[@user-sv1xn8qq4n]

anyone noticed there's an empty spot next to Emily and Richard? That was the seat Jess was supposed to sit in.

[@feninafebiyanti6710]

No..its fir Christopher

[@dragoneyes06]

@@feninafebiyanti6710 agree but I assume Jess was invited wanna the reason I feel Luke there yes he friend of the family but he wasn't dating Lorelai yet.

[@alishabilal5756]

@@dragoneyes06 luke was like a father figure to rory so it would make sense for him to be there with or without jess

[@lauriecarson6483]

It was for Chris not Jess. Not every thong is about Kess

[@gracegarriel6346]

I wish I had the same relationship with my mom. I love this show so much & can't watch this scene without crying

[@lovvxo9997]

tip for anyone who has to do such a speech: take a few of the things Gwen Stacy said and mix them with what Rory says here, then change the names and you have the ultimate graduation speech

[@Lord_Legolas_Greenleaf]

I am the Original Gilmore Guy... I saw the trailers and started watching the first day with my mom. We both were surprised at how fast they talked. I have watched the entire series at least 30 times so far! Having worn out Star Trek: Generations on VHS - I had no choice but to buy 2 sets of the DVD series! Happily I have yet to open the 2nd set.

[@teddy9402]

are you still watching it?

@@teddy9402 I got 2 dvd sets. I've watched it maybe +30 times now. Watched the Netflix series +20 times... LOL

I’ll never move on from this show….it was my comfort zone

[@Cat-ass-trophy]

Richard and Emily´s faces when Rory mentions them in her speech

[@heyhowislife3279]

YES So sweet

[@flaminghotea]

it is a beautiful and clever speechh but the point that makes it so emotional to me, is when she mentions her grandparents and you know, there’s that proud look of approval from richard…….my parents never looked at me that way so ever time i see this scene i start crying like a tall child

[@camille3086]

Every time she thanks Lorelei, I burst into tears! ❤️❤️❤️

[@MusicFashionFame1]

I always cry whenever I watch this scene. So freaking emotional. And they also made me laugh omg … greatest series of all time ! ❤️

To anybody who says Lorelai failed as a mother or that she was a bad one because she was a best friend to her daughter Like guys Do we watch the same show ??? She is a very good mom And Rory's speech proves it >>>

This never fails I cry every time I watch this even though I've been watching this show for years!! Love this show so much.. 🤗♥️

[@natalievaldes1375]

Ive cried so many times over this show but this scene man…. Waterworks be over flowing. All that’s happened to this scene

[@charlottemalone5967]

I just started watching Gilmore girls last week, and I’m only on season 1, but I’ve heard so much about this speech that I wanted to instantly watch it!! I am literally crying, Rory’s speech is so beautiful 💗🫶

[@ashdude3058]

crazy how this is the best scene of all time

[@ivannavrdoljak18]

No hay forma de que mire esta escena sin llorar. Simple y perfecta. Desde la mirada de Richard hasta la duda de rory “i don’t know if she ever realized that the person I most wanted to be was her”. Destruida en cuestión de segundos.

[@Idk-oe9tc]

Could i agree with you any more ? Nope don't think so

[@E.B.J.S.]

If the show had ended with this episode, it would have been just fine.

[@wistfulwriterthingy12]

I see what you mean because Rory loses all that initially made her endearing, but Luke and Lorelai were my favourite couple and they only get together after this.

[@lauriecarson6483]

[@josnagosavi6254]

I always felt like Rory's speech was a lot more about herself rather than her school and its students.

[@veronikabolen9778]

that wasn’t her whole speech it cutoffs in the show when she starts talking about the other students i guess the writers didn’t want it to be to long

[@sweetlife031]

Probably so 🥰

If you listen in the last couple seconds of the scene, you can hear her voice continuing the speech in the background

I graduated on June 4th of this year and I distinctly remember processing out on to the football field and trying not to cry - I managed not to which was great - However I’m glad that ceremony ended when it did because you don’t know how hot Virginia is in the summer , I probably would have had heat stroke if I was out there for any longer !

Someday, if and when I want kids, I know I want a daughter. I want to live in a small house just fit for her and I by the beach, and get up every morning to dance and run down the soft sand toward the edge of the shore where the waves just touch the earth to watch the sunrise. I want to go on late night car rides blasting rock music and sing at the top of our lungs. I want to stay up late eating junk food while watching Freaky Friday and Mean Girls and all those classic movies and TV shows from the 2000s. I want her to look up to me and be able to talk to me about anything. I want her to get the best education to lead her to a bright future. I would want our relationship to be like Lorelai and Rory: not only mother and daughter, but best friends. Lorelai has inspired me and so many other women that they can make it through anything. And she is the role model of many, showing us how we don't need luxury to be happy, and to make our kids happy. I want a daughter someday, so I can have this kind of relationship, this kind of happiness.
