reblog A Daddy’s Poem

by unknow

Her hair was up in a pony tail, her favorite dress tied with a bow. Today was Daddy’s Day at school,and she couldn’t wait to go. But her mommy tried to tell her,that she probably should stay home.

Why the kids might not understand,if she went to school alone.

But she was not afraid;she knew just what to say.What to tell her classmates of why he wasn’t there today. But still her mother worried,for her to face this day alone. And that was why once again,she tried to keep her daughter home.

But the little girl went to school eager to tell them all. About a dad she never sees a dad who never calls. There were daddies along the wall in back,for everyone to meet. Children squirming impatiently,anxious in their seats.

One by one the teacher called a student from the class. To introduce their daddy,as seconds slowly passed.

At last the teacher called her name,every child turned to stare. Each of them was searching, a man who wasn’t there.

“Where’s her daddy at?” she heard a boy call out. “She probably doesn’t have one,”another student dared to shout.

And from somewhere near the back, she heard a daddy say, “Looks like another deadbeat dad, too busy to waste his day.” The words did not offend her,as she smiled up at her Mom.

And looked back at her teacher, who told her to go on. And with hands behind her back, slowly she began to speak. And out from the mouth of a child, came words incredibly unique.

“My Daddy couldn’t be here, because he lives so far away.But I know he wishes he could be, since this is such a special day. And though you cannot meet him, I wanted you to know.

All about my daddy, and how much he loves me so.

He loved to tell me stories he taught me to ride my bike. He surprised me with pink roses,and taught me to fly a kite.

We used to share fudge sundaes,and ice cream in a cone. And though you cannot see him. I’m not standing here alone.

“Cause my daddy’s always with me, even though we are apart I know because he told me, he’ll forever be in my heart” With that, her little hand reached up, and lay across her chest. Feeling her own heartbeat, beneath her favorite dress.

And from somewhere here in the crowd of dads, her mother stood in tears. Proudly watching her daughter, who was wise beyond her years. For she stood up for the love of a man not in her life.

Doing what was best for her, doing what was right. And when she dropped her hand back down, staring straight into the crowd. She finished with a voice so soft, but its message clear and loud. “I love my daddy very much, he’s my shining star. And if he could, he’d be here, but heaven’s just too far You see he was a policeman and died just this past year When airplanes hit the towers and taught Americans to fear. But sometimes when I close my eyes, it’s like he never went away.

” And then she closed her eyes, and saw him there that day. And to her mothers amazement, she witnessed with surprise.A room full of daddies and children, all starting to close their eyes. Who knows what they saw before them, who knows what they felt inside. Perhaps for merely a second, they saw him at her side.

“I know you’re with me Daddy,” to the silence she called out. And what happened next made believers, of those once filled with doubt. Not one in that room could explain it, for each of their eyes had been closed. But there on the desk beside her, was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose.

And a child was blessed, if only for a moment, by the love of her shining star. And given the gift of believing, that heaven is never too far. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA -- In a serendipitous turn of events, San Jose's KTEH-TV 54 (now known as KQEH+ TV: PBS), made television history in the 1990s by launching the 'Sunday Science Fiction' anime programming block, catering exclusively to local residents of Californian viewers in America. The block became an unexpected hit, drawing attention for its unique programming choices, including the debut of the enigmatic anime series, 'Serial Experiments Lain'.

'Sunday Science Fiction' aimed to captivate the imagination of televised viewers with a diverse selection of anime series, bringing a taste of Japanese culture to the San Jose community. Among these shows (either subtitled or dubbed in selected anime programmes), 'Serial Experiments Lain' stood out as a cerebral and cryptic masterpiece that delved into the realms of virtual reality, identity, and technology.

The aforesaid Japanese anime series was created by Yasuyuki Ueda and directed by Ryutaro Nakamura. It portrayed an adolescent young lady named Lain Iwakura, who will become immersed in a mysterious virtual world. The anime series is renowned for its conceptional scary subject matters and unique visual presentation, which applied a mix of surreal imagery and philosophical narratives to explore the dark side of the internet and a personal identity.

On that particular 2nd week of September 2001 (which almost either the reruns or the new episodes), during the airing of Episode 7 of 'Serial Experiments Lain', an unforeseen and sketchy issue were completely unfolded. The above scrolling textual content at the start of the episode -- carried an alarming message, drawing attention to the tragic events on Tuesday afternoon (September 11th, 2001 -- New York local time).

The World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York had collapsed in a terrorist attack; and Washington, District of Columbia was also hit at the Pentagon by what appeared to be a coordinated act of terrorism.

This abrupt interruption was due to a programming postponement. The initially scheduled program 'The Travel Auction', was deferred, leaving viewers puzzled. This programming decision inadvertently drew local viewers' attention to a significant historical event, amplifying the impact of 9/11.

The late Program Director of KTEH-TV 54's PBS: San Jose named Karen Roberts is responsible for distributing licensed classic anime from Japanese imports during the 'Sunday Science Fiction' anime programming block, was instrumental in securing a diverse lineup of anime series for the said local PBS station. She was known for her passion and dedication to bringing unique and culturally enriching content to local audiences. Her legacy continued to shape the station's programming, even after her untimely passing in 2007.

The success of the 'Sunday Science Fiction' anime block and the debut of 'Serial Experiments Lain' on a local PBS station were attributable to the station's consistent funding of broadcasting and licensing anime rights. Unlike many free-to-air and cable TV stations that struggled to secure niche content before the internet era, KTEH-TV 54 had garnered a strong and supportive local viewership. The station's membership model allowed it to invest in unique programming choices, catering to the tastes and interests of its dedicated audience.

This accidental sketchy discovery during the 'Sunday Science Fiction' anime programming block would become a notable moment in the history of San Jose Public Television's KTEH-TV 54 (now becomes KQEH+ TV: PBS), exemplifying the station's commitment to offering engaging and diverse content to its local community. 'Serial Experiments Lain' and the scrolling text of 9/11 served as a testament to the power of public broadcasting, reminding viewers of the critical role local stations play in connecting communities to the world's most significant events, whether intentional or accidental.

I was heading to class at Towson university where were u remembering 9/11 22 years later

Yesterday marked 22 years since 9/11 happened. It was the worst act of terrorism with over 3000 deaths as planes hit the World Trade Center, pentagon, and in Pennsylvania. I was headed to class at Towson university and when I turned on the tv I couldn’t believe it. News channels went into news coverage, children’s channel continued children programming. Several events were postponed or…

Do we Trust 

Do we Trust  Hardships are simply part of this world. Some things we bring upon ourselves. Some things we face are due to other sinful people. And some things are acts of nature allowed by God. When we choose the wrong partner, quit a job for dumb reasons, turn to a substance for comfort, acts of crime or just do something stupid, those things we bring upon ourselves. When your house is burgled,…

Maybe I would make fewer 9/11 jokes if they didn’t make me watch videos of people jumping off of the towers when I was in 1st fucking grade.

If you’ve already answered this then no worries, but what would the typical clan cat lifespan be then (assuming they don’t die prematurely from injury/illness). Just curious as to how many generations have passed since the clan’s founding in the 80 or so years.

Clan cat lifespans can be pretty variable! They're considered senior warriors at 5, but if all works out their lifespan is often 16 years. Kittens usually enter the picture for a parent who is 2 to 8 years old, but they COULD have them anywhere between 1 to 15.

Clan cats play less attention to raw age than to EXPERIENCE, though. It is socially discouraged for a fresh warrior to become a parent, and you are NOT an adult until you're out of apprenticeship. They see age like this;

Child: Less than 6 full moons SEEN. If a kitten's eyes were not opened when the first moon of their life passed over them, that is not a month they were alive.

Adolescent: The amount of time you are an apprentice. Flamepaw was considered a child while his sister was an adult.

Young Adult: The first full year out of apprenticeship, when you've handled a full year on your own. A warrior is only eligible for an apprentice after this length of time, so by extension a cat COULD be a mentor around age 2 (BUT that's considered young. 3 is a better bet.)

Adulthood is even more variable, because you're usually not considered "aged" until you've had an apprentice or a litter and you're around 5 years old. Without either of those things, you often won't be considered a "senior warrior" until you're as old as 8.

So to answer your question directly, you can comfortably estimate a new crop of warriors about every 5 years, and full population turnover every 15. Between the numbers, 8 is a good estimation of how long it takes for a generation to pass

(Though I'm more partial to historic events and time periods than crunching numbers like that)

Elders can hang on for a LOOONG time though-- One-eye over in ThunderClan was a personal friend of Pinestar and witnessed the Crusades before passing away at the tender age of 20-something.
