So like most other people today, I have a facebook page. Some of the people I am "friends" with I am better friends than ever. One of the people I am friends with is a friend from a class last semester that I don't know very well. He doesn't always update his FB page but this morning his update was " I just found out my dad is dying..." SERIOUSLY???????
I mean, I understand sometimes sending this kind of stuff in email if you have several friends to update and it's hard to talk about, but on your facebook page???? Am I the only one who misses boundaries and formal communication? Don't get me wrong, I'm not heartless. I feel bad for what he is about to go through, the emotional roller coaster, but to me, it just seems a little crass.
A few months ago, I had another friend who experienced a death of a friend. Her and her husband posted some tasteful RIP comments. I understand that, especially if you have mutual friends.
It's weird when you think about it, how we now post our "status" for the world to see. I mean, I keep thinking about the olden days before there were even answering machines. LOL
