I was telling this to my girlfriend at the time when she moved and she was like : tf you taking about?
We broke up.
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.
My Dad died 13 years ago and Iβm fucking bawling.
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.
16 years for me, I feel you man
hugs
I miss my dad too.
hugs
Dear Daughter,
I will meet you on the Moon.
Love, Dad
OOP's dad is a ham radio enthusiast.
There's a beautiful Tang Dynasty Chinese poem about this idea: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiet_Night_Thought
εΊεζζε ηζ―ε°δΈι 举倴ζζζ δ½ε€΄ζζ δΉ‘
Before my bed lies a pool of moon bright I could imagine that it's frost on the ground I look up and see the bright shining moon Bowing my head I am thinking of home
Wu tang had so many sides to them
They truly aren't ones to fuck with
ζη½, every schoolchild in China has to learn this poem. I don't think much of that translation, but I guess there's a reason they've done it that way.
Moonlight shines at the foot of the bed,
Like frost on the ground.
I raise my head towards the bright moon,
Then look down and think of home.
You moved from Medford to Portland?
And you both see the same moon!
Yeah, I was thinking Grants Pass to Tigard. Most likely the kid moved to a bigger city.
Actually, Iβm updating this to the kid moved away for college at Linfield in McMinnville.

What's sad, is that depending on time zones/where you move the picture doesn't hold true
Well, it appears to be a crude drawing of the US state Oregon. The uppermost city is probably Portland, and thereβs a bunch of small towns located south and slightly east that are 4 hours from Portland
haha I am thinking Medford or Klammath Falls
Good ol' Methford
I mean, if someone moves to the other side of the planet, you won't both be able to see the moon at the same time, but at the end of the day, there is only one moon. We all see the same moon.
Opposite sides can see the moon simultaneously. It will be for a shorter period, but for all two points on the earth there should be at least a single time per moon orbit that the moon is visible by both at the same instant.
The moon is reversed if the other person is seeing it on the other side of the planet, so technically not the same moon face.
Clarification:
I did not mean the dark side, we can't see that. I meant the orientation. Like this:
Some goes with east and west.
That's... that's not how it works...
I meant the orientation we see.

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!

Letter says: Did you watch the game last night?
- dad
Wholesome ooga booga be like
Plot twist: OOP is Australian and just move one town over
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.
