i watched the series on and off again over the years...it is quirky, entertaining and funny...it has a touch of genius in the plot and story line...i guess, that's why it had won so many emmy..

but yesterday- it really touched me deeply..it was the part when preston(one of lynettes's twin sons)came back from russia with a russian fiancee..lynette had investigated the fiancee and found out that she had duped two husbands before..this led to preston cancelling the marriage but he seemed to blame lynette for it.

lynette went into the room where preston was sitting alone and basically told him that she'd rather her son hate her then see him regrets and despairs over the decision he could have made. and before she closed the door behind her, she told her son that she'll always be there for him and that he could take as long as he wanted to forgive her but 'just don't take too long..because i missed you already..'

and the mom in me broke down....i was crying like mad...i really felt lynette's words right up to my bones..she is just a character, it is just a show but god-the show really is good!!!!not only that it has the flair of a great entertainment but it also has soul....
