We always celebrated Dad's birthday on Thanksgiving Day. These events took on a double meaning for me — a traditional birthday party for Dad, and a personal thanking for all he had been to me in my life.

When we knew that it might be his last birthday, the whole family decided to rearrange Thanksgiving plans and come together for a huge Grandpa Simon birthday celebration. It was a crowded party with lots of noise and abundant food. Dad was having the time of his life. He was a marvelous storyteller, and here was the biggest audience he'd ever had.

During a quiet moment, I announced that it was now Dad's turn                    for a change. I wanted everyone to tell Grandpa Simon what we loved about him. The room became still, and even Dad was quiet.

One after another, people told stories from their hearts, while Dad listened with wet, flashing blue eyes. People recalled all kinds of lost memories — stories about when they were little, stories about when Dad was young... The stories flowed. Each one seemed to recall the memory of two more. Even the littlest grandchildren couldn't wait to tell Dad why they loved him.

A few months later, at Dad's memorial service, we more fully realized what we had given Dad that night. Those were the stories people normally tell at a funeral, after a loved one is no longer around to hear the words. They are told, then, full of tears. But we had given those loving memories to Dad in life, told through laughter, accompanied by hugs and joy. He had them to hold and roll over in his mind during his last months and days.

Words do matter, and they are enough. We just need to say them, to speak them to the ones we love. That's the way to give back love.

HAN Jiangxue, a 33-year-old Beijing native, made his own episode (系列中的一部分) of CCTV 10's Lecture Room (Baijia Jiangtan) after the program rejected him three times. "They said I didn't meet the show's criteria (標準) because I didn't have an associate professor title," said Han.

       Han, an international major who graduated from the University of International Business and Economics in 1998, has been studying and writing history for years. With only 30,000 yuan, Han recorded a 6-hour-long video of himself lecturing on the Song Dynasty.

       Han shot the video in the Lecture Room format, using a simple setting, an off-screen voice and photo illustrations (說明). The video soon became a hit after Han posted it online in September. It was called the "copycat" version of Lecture Room.

       "I wanted to find a channel to make my voice heard," Han said. "Since there were too few chances to do this in the traditional way, I tried to figure out a wild way, and it worked."

       Han takes the word copycat as a compliment, rather than as criticism. "The word represents a grassroots movement," he said. "It means ordinary people enjoying the same rights and …doing something that could only be done by the professionals before."

       Han thinks his video is innovative (創(chuàng)新的), even though it copies the format of the Lecture Room show. He points out that he wrote the lecture himself.

       "If you just copy, no one will be interested; you need to be creative," Han said. He wants to give another lecture, on European history, which has never been dealt with on Lecture Room. "Next time, I want to use a different format."

ArLynn Presser is a 51-year-old woman who lives in Winnetka, Illinois. It’s normal for ArLynn to stay indoors all the time. In fact, for most of her adult life, she hardly ever left her home. Her career as a writer ensured that she could spend her life indoors and still get things done. If this sounds strange to you, you must know that ArLynn suffers from agoraphobia – the fear of crowded places or enclosed public spaces.

Like most introverts (內向的人), ArLynn interacts with people online and she has 325 friends she chats with on Facebook. Last year, she went and did something that no one could have ever expected. On 31st of Dec, 2010, she made a decision to meet all 325 of her Facebook friends in person.

For a person who was terrified of flying and could never get on a plane before, this was certainly a daunting task. In the end, she did a great job, traveling over 13 countries and taking over 39 flights. By the end of 2011, she had met 292 friends, about 90% of what she had intended to.

According to Presser, this was something she just had to do, to make a great change in her life. She said, "A lot of it was just realizing that with my sons gone, I was spending a lot more time alone and a lot more time in front of the computer."

Meeting her Facebook friends was not always easy and she sometimes found herself in the middle of emotional breakdowns and moments of panic. For safety reasons, she always had a partner with her, and made sure the meetings were conducted in public.

Despite all the problems she faced, ArLynn did seem to have some wonderful moments with her facebook friends. Quite a year, I must say! Now her incredible experience has inspired a documentary called "Face to Facebook", about Facebook, anxiety, and the power of social media to inspire great personal change.
