maytheangelsprotectyou: I have only heard the story behind this picture once, but it literally brought tears to my eyes.  On September 11, 2001, a hijacked plane knifed into the side of the Pentagon.  We all know that.  What very few people have heard is that shortly afterwards, the director of a nursery in the building stood, looking at the children in her charge, wondering how she could move all of the babies and toddlers to safety. A Marine rushed into the room and asked if she was alright.  She needed help, and she told him that.  He turned and ran out; the woman assumed that he had gone away for good.  As she formulated a plan of action, she heard footsteps in the hall. The man had returned - this time, though, he was not alone.  At least 40 other Marines followed him.  They picked up the babies in their cribs, the toddlers, the helpless infants.  They carried them through the hall and to a nearby park, where they arranged the cribs in a circle and set the toddlers in the middle.  Then they stood guard outside, never allowing the children to be unattended. When I first saw this picture, I thought that the man carrying the children was their father.  Now I realize that he wasn’t related to them by blood, but by nationality.  He isn’t their father, he’s their protector.  He’s a United States Marine.  <3
Mother Fucker. Stalked my bio father’s facebook tonight because I haven’t talked to him in four years and I wanted to see how old he got.. Course I’m not his friend so I could barley see his profile picture. He’s such a freakin’ liar. I thought he actually got a job because he was listed as employed at some place, so I Google it, find nothing, click the link on facebook, and it’s a bogus page. Guy can’t even lie well about finding a job after 18 years. First he ruins me. Then he leaves me. Then gets married without telling me. Like I actually give a shyt if he’s married or not but still. If he wasn’t such an asshole maybe I would have liked to know. Maybe if he wasn’t such an asshole he wouldn’t have destroyed my mother and his relationship. Maybe if he wasn’t such an asshole I wouldn’t hate him so much. Seems his problem is that he’s an asshole. Seems my problem is that after 18 years I actually think he’s going to change.
