[prompt #7] greatest loss. [open]
My greatest personal loss was my father. I'm not going to go into too much detail, but I don't think anything could've made me ready to lose him. I keep his pocket watch close by.

Learning to deal with the deaths of expedition members wasn't the easiest part of my job, or the most pleasant. Each and every one of those people was a great loss to somebody. I owe it to them, the people who followed my leadership, to consider them a personal loss. Hopefully we learn from each mistake.

And I miss Peter.
