bogus holiday

the photo is my father with my older brother, who would be killed in vietnam 25 years later --- this was a side of j.c. that i almost never saw --- i saw him cry when his brother came to the door while we were waiting for my brother's body to be shipped him, and remember thinking, wow, he really cared about us

i have mixed feelings about this day, especially now after he's been dead over two years and after reading all the facebook posts from people who had the most awesome daddy in the entire universe
