The Power of Social Media

This is why we're addicted to our phones.
Have you ever heard a father, mother, or grandmother say, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll always be with you?”
I love that phrase. I love knowing the things I’ve shared with the amazing people I’ve had in my life will stay with me. Each moment and each lesson I learn is mine to call upon when I need it. Each moment of joy is mine to revisit and bask in for as long as I may choose to do it. I love how connected I am with everyone I’ve met and loved.
I know social media has it’s dangers and drawbacks. But, I love that it makes that phrase, “I’ll always be with you.” a little more tangible. I love that I not only have the memory of who my dad was growing up with me as I go through life I also have my dad today! I have the ways he’s changed and the further lessons he’s learned in my pocket, a click and a phone call away.
I love that I can still talk to my Marines. I’ve read stories about troops that spent 30 years apart before they were able to share a dinner. I know my Marine’s kids. Without being able to see them because we’re still scattered around the country, I still get to share their moments. I get to shout congratulations when another baby is on the way. I get to have a beer with my best friends from a million miles away when they’re having a hard day.
In a way that has never been possible before my loved ones will always be with me! I love the power of Social Media!
