Messages to Facebook

Holidays are hard when the thing being celebrated has not been a positive presence in one's life.

Today America celebrates Father's Day, and I skyped with my dad, who is in Taiwan.

I sent this message out to the Facebook world with the intention of both honoring my dad and being sensitive to those without one worth celebrating:

YDS folks: now that I've graduated, I shall take this particular day to let you in on a secret and introduce you to the actual person who coined--but did not copyright--the term "kind eyes"!
My dad's family history is a constant reminder to me that love can come in many forms and from many kinds of parents, so here's an acknowledgement of the most important thing of all: to look kindly upon others with eyes that seek to understand.
