My Wife Died in a Plane Crash 23 Years Ago, If Only I Would Known It Wouldnt Be Our Last Meeting

For 23 years, regret consumed me after I mistakenly believed I lost my love, Emily, in a plane crash. When I met Elsa, a new hire at work, I felt an unsettling familiarity.

After a tense encounter with Elsa’s mother, I learned the truth: Emily had survived the crash, using a new identity, and had raised our daughter, Elsa. The crash had left Emily badly burned, and she had hidden her true identity to protect herself and Elsa. I had spent two decades grieving a woman who was never really gone. Now, I had the chance to rebuild the family I lost.
