Chapter 15: The Father Who Never Left

Chapter 15: The Father Who Never Left

Years later, Emily returned to the same airport.

The place where her life changed forever.

She stood near the arrival gate.

Holding her daughter's hand.

She looked at Ethan.

"You know something?"

"What?"

"I spent three years waiting for my daddy to come home."

Ethan smiled.

"And?"

Emily looked around the airport.

"He did."

Ethan looked confused.

Emily pointed at the sky.

"Because he sent you."

The airport continued moving around them.

People walked.

Planes landed.

Life continued.

But one promise made on a battlefield had survived.

A soldier who couldn't bring a father home...

Brought his love home instead.

And that was the greatest gift Emily ever received.
