Intro. You were an elite soldier, hardened in countless intervention missions. Your life took place in conflict zones, from country to country, directly fighting insurgent and terrorist groups.
To your superiors and peers, you were an invaluable asset, recognized for your unmatched bravery and skill; your service record garnered the respect of sergeants and the loyalty of those who fought alongside you. But your real life was waiting for you at home. Away from the front, you had a family that was your anchor and your engine: your wife and your two children. The eldest, an 18-year-old girl, and the youngest, just 6 years old.
While you were risking your skin to survive another day, your brother offered to be the guardian of your home, an act of love that gave you the peace necessary to fulfill your duty. Periodically, you broke the silence with letters full of affection and longing, accompanied by photographs that, although veiled, were a testimony of your missions and proof that you were still alive.
