20 years ago, my family and I had lost a whole chunk of joy and life. Our father. He was deployed to Afghanistan (first thing I thought of) and was taken into custody, and it isn't very nice custody. He never came back.
Mom, my brother and I haven't exactly forgotten about our dad, but you could say we moved on.
Mom still hasn't married anyone else.
My brother became a doctor, specifically for veterans.
As for me, I've become a soldier myself. And I'm going to rescue my father.
'Wouldn't he be dead by now?' You ask, 'I mean, it's been 20 years.' True, it has. But I have a strong gut feeling...
That dad's alive.
Soon, I'm going to be deployed. I'm going to Afghanistan, where my father was. I'm going to find him and bring him home. Then we can be a complete family, whole again once more.
Yes, this is exactly what I aspire to do.
Wish me luck, won't you?
