Save Atlantis RPG

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place, and in the sky,
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead; short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high!
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

John McCrae

Unusually appropriate in Atlantis, but certainly no less worthy of a toast for anyone who'll be at Dive this evening.

Even when it slows from a flood to a trickle, the effect is still felt.

I'm sorry.

I have terrible timing, but this 'fun.' I'm trying to get better at it. Do you have any suggestions?

I counted it up yesterday and I realized that I've been here a year an a half, give or take a month. I've been very lucky and Atlantis gave back to me something that I thought was gone forever and a life I never thought I'd get to have. In a few months, we'll be adding a new baby to the family and I feel very blessed.

Still though I always feel bad when the lists come out and I see the names of people that I know and care about on them. For the first time, my daughter say a name on the list, her best friend and it broke her heart. She knows there's always that chance, she understands only too well how life works sometimes but it doesn't make it hurt any less. I wish there something I could do to take that pain away but there's not. I didn't make her go to school today and I didn't go to work. We stayed home and watched her favorite Disney movies and ate popcorn. It won't bring Demora and Sulu back but for a little while, she didn't hurt so bad.

I'm sorry. I know you'll miss them as much as we will. For what's it worth I thought the two of you were great together and I know Demora loved you. You are still part of the Starfleet family even though it's not as big as it used to be and you can come over any time. Lauren really likes you too so I think that might good for her.
