File On Soldier’s Laptop Leads Wife To Secret Place In Afghanistan
Nearly Home
It was a long 6 months of sporadic facetime and late-night texts. With a baby so young to raise on her own, Emily found it hard. Still recovering from her postpartum depression, she was slowly putting the pieces back together, motivated by Mark’s upcoming return.
But just as she was preparing the house for his welcoming home party, she got an unexpected call.
Unexpected Call
Emma Weaver
Her face lit up as she saw ‘Hubby’ on her screen. She answered expecting him to update her with a flight time, but instead, her world stopped once more.
He told her that there was a delay in his return home. Injured soldiers were being prioritized which meant he’d have to wait a bit longer to secure a space. Emily noted that he sounded rushed and in a panic. But when she asked him if everything was okay, he said yes and told her he’d call again soon.
MIA

When a couple of days passed and she still hadn’t heard from him, she grew anxious. She tried to message him to no avail. She knew in the pit of her stomach that something was wrong.
9 days later, she received a call from a U.S Army official. Her husband was listed as MIA.

Emily’s heart dropped. How could he be missing? She asked him if he got on his flight home. The official on the phone said he didn’t know.
She asked him where he was last seen. Again, she was met with a dubious answer. It became painfully obvious that this man was just the messenger and had no idea about the details of her husband’s case.
