Dolor admitted during the interview that she has a close relationship with her son Jeff, a nurse working in Melbourne. She recalled that Jeff was very consistent in giving her a kiss and a hug after coming from work. But now that Jeff is based in Melbourne, Dolor replicates such intimate moments through regular phone calls. However, as it is costly to call an overseas loved one, Dolor opts to check the Facebook profile of Jeff on a daily basis. Through a desktop computer in the living room, she accesses Jeff’s Facebook page (see Fig. 15.2), allowing her to ‘follow’ her son’s daily activities. By perusing Jeff’s photos, she feels a sense of deep connection. Furthermore, Dolor feels proud whenever she sees Jeff’s posts, “I am happy because he is slowly fulfilling his dreams.” For Dolor, Facebook use serves as a key means to cope with family separation as it brings her closer to her son beyond borders.
