Years have come and gone, but there was one thing that never changed. The love shared between Logan and Rory. They have had amazing years together with their children. Now they were empty nesters at the ages of 60 and 57. The children have all grown and are now, living their own lives. They have a bigger family now, with five children, and three grandchildren.They had a lot to look forward to, and they couldn't wait to be able to spoil their grandchildren, but what means the most to them, is that they are all together.

RORY
Rory, was finally able to finish her book - The Gilmore Girls - which was based on her mother's life of becoming pregnant at the age of 16, and raising Rory as a single mother and it continued up until Rory finished high school - and the book became a big success. Rory Huntzberger became a New York best selling author. And by the time she was 52, she published another four more books. All books were related to her life. Her second book - Gilmore Girls 2, College Days - was based on her life at YALE and falling in love but also losing the love of her life. Book three - Not the life she expected - was based on her life after YALE, from going on the campaign trail to finally getting the love of her life back. Her fourth book - Living the life - was based on her married life, all the highs and low of becoming a mother and wife. And now at the age of 57, she was finishing up her fifth and finally book - Years of Love - which is based on their life as a family. From Anna's cancer, being a step-mother, to welcoming three more children into their crazy life, but also becoming a grandparent.

LOGAN
