9th Response

Here's this week's blog! I really haven't had any new revelations about CMC. I was, however, not expecting to watch those videos from YouTube. I am not exactly sure how I feel about that, either. I think that it was cool to see the response that that mother gained for her daughter; I honestly couldn't watch some of it because it was making me tear up really bad. I don't think that if I were that mother, I would have thought to put pictures of my sick daugther online, no matter how inspiring she was. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned. I also don't know how likely I would be to actually stumble upon movies of a sick little girl. Don't get me wrong, I was moved by the movies and the responses, but I also felt that I was intruding on something that wasn't for me to see. I guess that CMC is also allowing people to be very open about things that they might not be otherwise, or at least would not be able to share otherwise. Ironically enough, I enjoy watching The Wedding Story and other home improvement shows that, too, can be very personal. I think maybe, I just wasn't comfortable that people could respond and that what I was witnessing was someone at a very scary point in her life.
