After losing my daughter in a terrible accident, I took a second job to escape the silence at home. A quiet passenger soon became the one person I looked forward to seeing each week. But when she suddenly vanished, I discovered something that made me question everything I thought I knew about her.
I stared at the letter in my hands.
“I know they told you Megan drowned. I also know they never found her body.”
For nearly a year, I’d driven Ruth to the same hospice every Tuesday.
She’d stopped calling two weeks earlier.
“I also know they never found her body.”
Now I’d found an envelope taped beneath my taxi’s passenger seat.
Somehow, Ruth knew something about Megan that I’d never told her.
I grabbed my phone and called Ruth.
She didn’t answer.
“Come on, Ruth,” I muttered. “You can’t tell me this and just disappear.”
She didn’t answer.
I called again.
Still nothing.
***
My daughter Megan was 13 when everyone started telling me I had to accept she was dead.
I never saw a body.
I never said goodbye.
Still nothing.
She’d gone fishing with my brother Daniel on a lake we’d visited since we were kids.
A storm came in fast, and their boat capsized.
Daniel was found hours later, half-conscious and clinging to the hull.
But my Megan?
Megan was gone.
But my Megan?
***
Divers searched for 11 days.
They found her life jacket snagged near the reeds, but they couldn’t find her.
For months, I still left the porch light on.
“Just in case, Megan…”
Eventually, I learned to say “died” because saying “missing” brought looks of pity I couldn’t bear.
Divers searched for 11 days.
