I was telling this to my girlfriend at the time when she moved and she was like : tf you taking about?
We broke up.
An ex moved from a nearby city to very near me. On the first night, I asked if she could hear the train whistle. She said yes and I remarked how cool that was. She didn't understand that I meant, you're very near and we hear the same thing. As mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph, 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 I’m 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
床前明月光 疑是地上霜 举头望明月 低头思故乡
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
李白, 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, I’m 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 there’s 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.

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!
