Quote from Babette in Cinnamon's Wake
Babette: You know, I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself now. You live to take care of your kids. Lorelai: I know, sweetie, but you gave her everything you had. Babette: Yeah. She was so tiny when I got her, she could sleep in my shoe. Lorelai: The other day, I came across a hat that I made for Rory. It was like a doll hat. Babette: Oh, they grow up so fast. Lorelai: And then they take your clothes. Babette: I guess, eventually, you have to move on. Figure out what your life is gonna be when you're not busy taking care of somebody else. Jeez, look at this place. Not a clean glass in sight. Lorelai: Let me help you with that. Babette: Here, sugar, use this. Morey sits on it when he helps me. Lorelai: How does Morey get around in here? Babette: Oh, just fine. He had a couple of concussions his first year here. But he never complains. He's just the best thing. Don't know what I'd do without him. Lorelai: Oh, Babette. What do you mean without him? Babette: I saw on Oprah a few weeks ago she had on couples who lost a child. Most of the marriages went belly up for the pain of it all. Even though they loved each other.
