I’m not seeing a failure if everyone made it home in one piece with stories to tell! Looks like quite an adventurous trip. ?

I get the sentiment but if two pieces, then imagine how much better the stories. Luckily I have always returned home in one piece but I have had pieces missing, bruises, internal burns/bleeding, etc and those stories have ranged from hilarious to over the top.
