Even I, most cynical man alive, am pretty choked up about this recording. It’s from an unknown soldier in Afghanistan who’s calling his pregnant girlfriend. In the 90 second call he tells her that one of his fellow soldiers had just been killed and that he misses her terribly. Then… he asks her to marry him.
Now here’s the tragic part: The message was left on someone else’s phone. The phone belongs to a woman called Diane Potts, not the “Samantha” to which he refers. Sadness.
Now go and find your nearest and dearest and make sure they know how you feel.
