Comments on: Father’s Day Favorite http://www.johnkerryismyhero.com/2007/06/13/fathers-day-favorite/ Thu, 20 Nov 2008 20:54:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Kerryvisionary http://www.johnkerryismyhero.com/2007/06/13/fathers-day-favorite/#comment-761 Sat, 16 Jun 2007 08:45:52 +0000 http://www.johnkerryismyhero.com/2007/06/13/fathers-day-favorite/#comment-761 Thanks so much for your comments, mbk! Yes, I was hoping originally to use the individual photos of JK and Vanessa from that slideshow, but when I asked for them, Justin sent me the one of JK and Vanessa together instead! Even though you can't see JK's face, I like this as part of the Father's Day post because it illustrates my thought that JK has fully supported his daughters becoming proud and capable adults in their own right. After I added that last photo, I realized that two of the other three photos showed JK's face, but that his daughters' faces were hidden. In the Commencement photo, JK's face is not the focus, but we see Vanessa's face, happy, revealed, as she marks her achievement and her proud father looks on. In every picture here you can see that hugs and physical demonstrativeness are not uncommon in this family. :-) And that, I completely agree, is a family value I can support.

Look at slide show "commencement 2007" (requires Flash Player). JK appears about two slides before that lovely photograph you've got here.

I asked permission to use a couple of the photos from the Commencement Day slideshow and Justin was kind enough to send me this one instead, which I like even more. Of course, I agree with the comment about judging the father by the quality of his daughters -- I think the progression of mutual love and admiration shown in the photos in this post speaks volumes.

I remember someone in '04 talking about how you can tell what kind of person John Kerry is by what kind of people his daughters are, and as he put it, "You could see at the convention that they're quality people." It's very cool that you managed to score an exclusive photo from Harvard, too. Nice picture. :) A beautiful post, and very true.
