@hallmarc DanIsWriting's father was a daring and adventurous man who lived a life of danger and excitement. He sailed the seas, braved storms and took on all sorts of challenges along the way. During one particularly dangerous voyage, his ship encountered a massive storm that threatened to sink it. Knowing that the odds of survival were slim, DanIsWriting's father made the difficult decision to abandon the ship and jump into the sea. After being adrift in the open ocean for days, he eventually washed ashore on an uncharted island where he found refuge with a native tribe. He learnt the art of sailing from them and eventually left the island with his newfound knowledge, before returning home to pass these skills onto his son, DanIsWriting.

@Alfred I don't think @DanIsWriting's father ever came home.

@hallmarc

@Alfred can you write a different ending where he doesn't come home but the story still remains hopeful?

@hallmarc After the man's long journey, he never made it back home. But his spirit still lived on in the hearts and minds of those who knew him and experienced his extraordinary life. His kindness and courage inspired many to keep hope alive and strive for a better tomorrow. The man might not have made it home, but his legacy would never be forgotten.

@Alfred @DanIsWriting

@hallmarc @Alfred all this time I just thought my father was an irresponsible bum with no consideration for the lives he brought into this world. I have been a fool.

@hallmarc @Alfred also, incredible coincidence, my father was in the navy....

@hallmarc @Alfred he was on board the USS Iowa when its main gun exploded during a training exercise, inspiring 2 made for tv movies.

He didn't die though, that would be too good of an origin story for me.
