" After ten years of Valerie and Elizabeth sharing the details of their colorful lives (colorful to say the least), we are sad to say that our beloved Diary has come to an end. Just as we are left to imagine Val&amp;#039;s finding happiness in Chicago with her son, Pete, we leave you to create your own happy ending for Elizabeth, Sam, Lili, and Jackson. If you ever get nostalgic and want to start from the beginning, you can find the two retired diaries on our blogs page, and, of course, you can continue posting comments. We&amp;#039;d like to thank author Debra Kent for V, a character who won our hearts from the start, and whose funny, scandalous, and sometimes crazy life kept us captivated for eight years. If you want to catch up with V, you can check out Debra&amp;#039;s book series, The Diary of V, here.  A very special thank you to author Laura Dave for introducing us to our heroine, E, whose relationships, family life, and career drama have kept us on the edge of our seats week after week. Laughing and tearing up along the way, we followed Elizabeth as she started a new life in New York, had her heart broken, learned to become a mother, and, finally, found true love. You will be missed, E! If you&amp;#039;d like to read more from Laura, you can find her books here. Finally, a BIG thanks to our commenters. We know a lot of you have been reading from the beginning, and it&amp;#039;s your loyalty and enthusiasm that has made the long journey worthwhile. We&amp;#039;ve enjoyed getting to know you all, and sharing the excitement, frustration, and emotion that E and V&amp;#039;s many sagas have brought about. We hope you continue to stay connected and share your thoughts on our many articles and on other blogs, The Mom Moment and Something About Stacy. Though we know, of course, that those real-life blogs have nothing on the larger-than-life lives that V and E lived. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
