Get Your Fix with Dawn Dix
With fists in the air,
Words thrown by both sides,
Will this ever be resolved
When division spreads wide
Finger pointing goes on
Nothing ever gets done
When it’s a battle for who lost
Or a battle for who won
How about suggestions
Or actions we can take
Because our freedom is in peril —
Our very lives are at stake
“This Is Us” … this is you, this is me. If you’re one of the few people NOT watching this show, read on and see why you should be. If you’re already a viewer, let me break this down…see where you fit in…
We all relate to these characters…we either had a similar childhood, or in my case, we wish we did.
Let’s start with Dad, because let’s face it, it’s all about Dad! His legacy is one of sainthood status. Yes, Jack is flawed, but one can’t help but love him. His daughter (Kate) worshipped him, and still does long after his departure. He was her hero – and every week, I shed tears for the little girl inside that also had an alcoholic father, and also loved her dad in spite of it. One glaring difference is that Jack puts Kate on a shining pedestal, intent on being her champion, and he succeeds mightily. My craving to have a dad like that – loving me no matter what – is so strong that it affects me deeply – making it paramount to never miss an episode. I can project those emotions into Jack and vicariously experience that utter devotion between them.
