There's a Facebook campaign going on right now where you're supposed to change your profile picture to a picture of your favorite childhood cartoon character. The whole idea is to raise awareness about violence against children.
I've bitched about my parents in this particular medium, but the truth is, I've been lucky. I've never had to deal with violence at home, and I know I'm with a man who would never lay a hand on our children in the future. And sadly, others aren't so lucky.
In this season of family, it's a reminder that not everyone has a family like mine. We may fight, and I can't wait to get away from my father, but I've never had to live through something like so many other children do.
Today, I am grateful for:
* how lucky I am to have the family I do.
* little gestures starting big conversations.
* everyone else taking part.
* love.
* good conversation.
