HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

I forgot to publish it yesterday, but those who have father/s I hope have had a good day with them <3

 A complex example to analyze is Cristobal Clermont. 

His parental figure in the early years of Jacques, Jeanne, Robert and Violet was null and void as he was sailing with his merchant ships, but when Rosemary disappeared for 10 years of his life, he only raised and cared for four  children in the late 18th century and has since been attached to her children.

Not all parents are perfect, but at least Cristobal did what he could

??? The ghost of the lighthouse keeper had appeared because of Robert's anguish. He had fallen deep into his soul and broke into a thousand pieces.

Lighthouse keeper: Robert, don't be sorry for my loss, I'm better and I'll be taking care of you all the time.

Robert: You don't understand, it's not just your ghost. I am completely tormented by the thoughts of my past, of all the people who have left me and I will never see again....

My sister will never see her fiancé again and I will never see my loving wife Isabelle again.

I will never meet my unborn little daughter.

My parents are gone, my brothers must give me up for dead. I'm completely alone.

Lighthouse keeper: This anguish you feel will soon disappear, even if you don't see it, we are always with you.

??? The hours have passed, the life of the lighthouse keeper has vanished along with the sunlight. Robert could not understand that he had lost the only person capable of helping him to return to his house, now he would have to stay to take care of the lighthouse himself. Alone in the vast desolation of the island. When he burst into tears on the floor he could feel something or someone rubbing his shoulder

??? Robert was sitting in the portico of the lighthouse keeper's hut. A place where he provided shelter from the elements in his youth. Now he was locked up there, when the only person who was in charge of the lighthouse passed away, there would be no one who could avoid shipwrecks, and there would be no one to take care of his pets. 

Robert had decided to take the place of his great companion, along with his pets. To respect the memory of the lighthouse keeper, Robert rejected the idea of returning, in order to take care of his animals and prevent someone from ending up with the same fate as him.

??? The years had passed for everyone, even for Robert, some pets left them on the road, but Captain Whitetaker still accompanied him.

The lighthouse keeper saw him depressed during the last days and wanted to know what was wrong with him. Robert explained that he felt he was close to Harvest Day, told him about his family traditions and how much he missed the fruitcake his mother Rosemary made of him. 

The lighthouse keeper felt sad, being on an island without human contact is hard for anyone
