Ask an absentee father.

Seen a spate of these threads, recently, figured I'd join in, but with a twist. Nothing PG, nothing safe, nothing even remotely aggrandizing (sorry, for throwing yall under the bus). I have a daughter whom I haven't seen in a decade. I know nothing about her, I make no effort to know anything about her. Shoot!
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It didn't work out between her mother and I, and a great amount of distance and culture separated us after that fact.

Culture as in different country?

Does it bother you that you don't know her?

Do you pay child support?
The only other questions I have are questions that other people mentioned. What do you mean by culture? What kind of distance?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Do you think it would have worked out with more Jesus in your life?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
