After having recently lost the love of my life, only two years after I lost my mom, (Betty), I have really found a kinship with the characters from this show. I admit, I've used them to escape and forget the pain I've had to deal with in Real Life, especially after losing the one and only man who ever loved me, the father of my child, and the only man I ever loved. That's the kind of heartbreak you don't recover from completely. But I have found so much comfort and hope in the devotion Daniel and Betty have towards one another.

I have seen how many talented writers on this site have the same feelings that I did, that the show was unique in its amazing ability to give us such multi-faceted characters. Every one of the cast was superb and the writing was amazing, overall. While I didn't always agree with specific story lines or some of the pairings,(NOT a Henry or Molly fan!) I was bowled over by the deep, meaningful ways in which all the characters on the show interacted with one another and blended so well.

I know I'm hardly alone when I say, this show will be missed for a VERY long time! I don't know if it will ever happen, now, since it's been 2 years since the series finale and all the actors have understandably moved on to other projects, but a movie would be SO awesome (we can dream, can't we?) I mean, if they did what was it 3 Sex & the City movies, why not at least give us Detty-heads our 1! Sigh...oh, well, in the interim, I guess we'll have to survive on our memories, DVD's and sites like these, dedicated to one of the best relationships ever!

To my readers and the amazing other writers whose work I've read on here, I say, simply, THANK YOU! You're awesome and you give me the courage to try and remain a hope-FUL romantic!

My love,

Lauralee (Betty the Bonita)
