Health Care Planning
This comes from the personal column. It involves
my parents Pauline and John. My father was an excellent planner and
believed in covering all his bases. He and my mother made out
Living Wills/Advanced Directives as a part of their retirement
planning. We (my sisters and I) were unaware at the time the
directives were made how important they would eventually be in the
care of our parents.

American Fathers Get a Bad Rap
American
fathers get a bad rap. Unfairly stereotyped by critics left and right,
male and female, at best the American father is generally portrayed as
a second class parent. Worse still are the common images of fathers
as deadbeats, philanderers, and abusers. However, research indicates
that the overwhelming majority of American fathers are none of these.

My Father's Hand... Repeat of a
Fathers Day Classic
I remember looking at the back of my hand a few months ago and I was
surprised that I didn't know it anymore. This sun browned hand with all the
darker spots on it wasn't the hand I remembered. It looked more like my
father's hand....and yet not. My fingers are longer than his were and the
veins on my hand more prominent. But my hand looked as old as I remembered
his to be.

The Aggressors
Monday, May 12th, 7:23 a.m.: Suspects'
Father was emptying the dishwasher while suspects watched "Sesame
Street" in the living room. Suspects' Mother had left for work early,
otherwise Suspects' Father would have been in the recliner finishing
his coffee and trying to wake up. At time stated above, Suspect 1
emitted high screech-like cry, which continued for what Suspects'
Father later reported as "several hours," at the end of which time
Suspect 1 stopped screeching and Suspect 2 began wailing. Suspect 2
then ran into the kitchen where Suspects' Father was standing and
produced tears and other signs of physical distress. Suspects' Father
reported examining Suspect 2's back and finding teeth marks and red
oval mark of approximately the radius of Suspect 1's mouth. Suspects'
Father reported yelling at Suspect 1.

THE NEW
INTIMACY...
monthly column by
Judith Sherven, Ph.D. and James
Sniechowski, Ph.D.
What Would Love Do?
Whether you call it moral or sacred,
spiritual or common sense, a truly successful relationship is guided
by one question -- "What would love do now?" It's not "What's in it
for me?" And it's not "How can I manipulate to get more than my
share?" And it's never "I'll go without to prove my love." Love only
wants what will be in both of your best interests. To define love in
action, it couldn't be any other way.
