My Dad died 13 years ago and I’m fucking bawling.
16 years for me, I feel you man
hugs
I miss my dad too.
hugs
I'm very sorry for your loss. I hope the time you had together was good.
Thank you. It was wonderful. He was truly a great man and I was lucky to have him as my Dad.
Is this some flat earther shit?
No man, it's saying that no matter how far apart we can see the moon together and be connected at that moment
That statement could only be true if the earth were flat
Not if you're in a similar time zone, like someone the same-ish longitude in the same state (as illustrated). And we're all on the same planet with the same moon, so even if it's not visible in the sky, it's still there.
Your autism is showing.
That's not what they said though. The moon isn't visible from everywhere on the earth at the same time
This is going to blow your mind, but if you look closely, there are no words visible on the paper.
Okay?
So maybe don't manufacture rage/irritation? Do you not understand that two people in different places could see the moon at the same time? It's, on average, almost 400,000 kilometers away!
Can confirm. I'm in Alberta and my dad was in Michigan. He always called to tell me when the moon looked cool.. But my light/weather conditions were often different.
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky!
That's the song on the mouse cartoon movie, isn't it?
Starting out, my wife and I were long distance.
Things like looking at the moon and stars were a small way we felt together, even though we were states apart. There was a train that came by at about midnight, every night. I lived close enough to the tracks, she could hear the horn over the phone. That first night we were in that room, physically together, that train sounded so loud. It was like I was really hearing it for the first time.
Even now, when one of us takes a solo trip, I catch myself looking out a window once it gets dark. Something about the thought, that chance moment that she's looking outside, too, makes it feel like she's right there beside me, even if it's only for a second.
Dear Daughter,
I will meet you on the Moon.
Love, Dad
