Bobby and his wife had been going through a divorce for almost a year, and it had been a year to the very month since they had separated and he moved out of his house when he was killed in an automobile accident. It broke Bobby's heart in a million pieces to have to leave his three kids as they were his world, but his wife already had another boyfriend and so he really had no choice but to leave. It caused Bobby to suffer from depression for many months after he moved out. When I saw him at Christmas in 2005, it had been 8 months of him living alone and he hated it so much. But a month before he died, they went to court to finalize the divorce and she called him that same morning telling him she wanted him to take custody of the kids because she could not handle them and they were fighting a lot with her boyfriend and she just wanted her freedom. Bobby seemed to come alive with joy! He was so happy. He moved back in with the kids and they were doing so good. Leah, his fifteen year old called me and said "It is a miracle. My Dad is back!"
Eight months after Bobby died, I received an email from a young woman that said she had given birth of Bobby's child. Now, I don't know this person, and maybe she was just fooling around with me, but why would she do that? What would be the purpose? She told me that she had told Bobby about the baby just weeks before he died, and they were going to be married. Bobby did tell me that he had met someone but he did not tell me they had any plans to get married. The sad part - she said she gave the baby up for adoption to a couple in Great Britain. She sent me pictures - the baby looks nothing like him, but still what if it was his baby? All I can say is, if it is true, even after his death, Bobby made some childless couple very, very happy. Something tells me it was not his baby, even so, I was very sad to learn that I would never see it. But Bobby was blessed with three very wonderful children who look so much like him that everytime I am with them, I feel like he is with me again. Their dimpled-smiles, their eyes, even their voices and mannerisms, and their crazy sense of humor. He is still here in so many ways.
I am so very sorry that not only did you lose Dane, but you lost his baby also. How wonderful it would have been if that baby were alive today. Please take some consolation knowing that Dane and his baby are together now. I really believe that the baby's soul and its tiny little spirit is alive and lives on. You should give that baby a name, Little Dane, and know that they are together in God's heaven.
Love,
Patti
