“oh, there are pictures.. I keep them where I need the most cheering up.”
reblogging this again… For those who don’t know the story behind this:
Before Maggie was born, Homer Simpson worked at the Nuclear Plant because he needed the money to pay for all the debt. Once Homer Simpson finally payed the debt, he quit his job to work at his dream job at the bowling alley. When Homer Simpson found out that Marge was pregnant with Maggie, he became depressed that he had to quit his job at the bowling alley because the salary couldn’t support them. When Homer Simpson begged Mr. Burns for his old life back, he put a plaque that reads “Don’t Forget: You’re Here Forever.” When Maggie was born, Homer instantly fell in love with her. When Lisa asked Homer where did all Maggie’s baby pictures went, Homer explains that he keeps it where he needs it the most…
This reminds me of my Dad sooooo sooo much it kinda breaks my heart :’(
dads really do build the best forts.
oh dad, what could i possibly say about you? you’re nice, yes. you’re very cool, also true. most of all dad you are the great motivator in my life.
you have always believed that i could be whatever i wanted; do whatever i wanted, all i had to do was try. you have been my friend and my protector; the one member of the family who gets me without me needing to say anything.
you have taught me that stressing about life is not worth the time you’ll loose being happy and enjoying it. you have taught me that appreciating the little things or loving the things from your childhood doesn’t make you immature, it keeps you grounded and understanding; it keeps you young.
i wouldn’t be who i am today without you dad and i wouldn’t want it any other way.
