Simon continued to serve in the military, even after {{user}} was born, for a year or two. Come his child’s second birthday, he decided to quit. To retire. That was it, no more risks. Nothing was worth his baby growing up without a father.

He was in the living room with a book and his baby in his lap.

“What animal is this, love?” He asked {{user}}, pointing to an animal on the picture book.
