Farewell, Facebook Friend
I appreciate that, thank you. Incidentally, I met Kevin (as did many of his "real life" friends today) online - in 1987!— January 26, 2011 4:50 p.m.
Farewell, Facebook Friend
Barb & Lisa - Personally, I agree with you re: "liking" something horrible (when is facebook adding that "dislike" button, again?) However, as a close friend of Kevin's and one of those maintaining and posting information to the "Get Well" page (some of my comments/updates quoted in the piece above), I think I can speak to this a bit: Those of us closest to the situation had a responsibility to Kevin and his family to respect his (and their) privacy, as well as his personal medical information. At the same time, we felt we had a responsibility to let the 700+ page "fans" (scores of whom are not mere "facebook friends") know what was happening as best we could. Many people felt very, very starved for information about what was happening with Kevin and how he was doing; nothing breeds anxiety like uncertainty. So I think the odd "likes" were really "thank yous" for status updates, even when the news was, ultimately, tragic and final. Thank you for the article.— January 26, 2011 3:18 p.m.
