Soldier Comes Home After 2 Years, Learns About His Daughter's 'New Dad'

For nearly two years, all Jamie could think about was reuniting with his wife and daughter. He missed crucial years of his daughter growing up, and it broke his heart. But duty called, and he understood. However, the reunion wasn't what he had imagined. When Jamie finally embraced his daughter again, she told him he had to meet her "new dad." Jamie's heart sank as he wondered who this "new dad" could be. Was his wife unfaithful, or was something else at play?

While stationed in Iraq, Jamie received letters from family and friends weekly. His daughter often sent drawings, which he cherished. One day, a drawing arrived that left Jamie puzzled — it featured his wife, daughter, and a mysterious man.

Despite his efforts to dismiss the drawing, Jamie couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling it gave him. His mind kept returning to the image, trying to piece together a possible explanation.

As Jamie continued his tour in Iraq, he pushed his worries to the back of his mind, focusing on his duties. But every night, as he lay in his bunk, the questions returned. Who was this man?

Jamie’s monthly calls home were his lifeline, giving him brief moments of normalcy amid the chaos of war. During one call, he asked his wife about a dog in the drawing, but her nervous response left him suspicious.
