Perspectives
By: Karmyn
Summary: Bobby's perspective on Carolyn and Daniel's relationship.
I admit I wasn't the best husband in the world, but I did give it a try. We
were young and I wanted to prove to my parents that we could make it on our own.
I loved my wife and children very much and I worked hard to provide for them. So
I wasn't always around for them, but I was working. Maybe if I hadn't been working
so late that last night, I'd still be alive.
It's been almost four years now and I've watched Carolyn and the children
pick up the pieces and start all over. I'm really proud of her for standing up to my
father, something I never quite had the courage to do when I was alive. My
children are happy, doing well in school and making friends. They're growing up so
fast. At first I was a bit worried about them growing up without a father, but now
they have someone.
At first I was a bit jealous. I mean, if my wife had to fall in love with a
ghost, why couldn't it have been me? She had loved me before, why not now? What
was so special about this Captain Gregg? He was dead, too, but after a while that
didn't seem to matter to Carolyn. Jonathan took to him right away and that really
hurt to see. He had been my son, but I had never been there for him, never
showed him the things a father is supposed show his son. Did my children even
remember me?
Carolyn is happy and I guess that's what really matters. I've seen her and
Captain Gregg together and she never looked at me the way she looks at him. I've
learned to be happy for her. She has someone to love her and to help with the
children. They haven't forgotten about me, but they have moved on. I still watch
over them from time to time, just to see how the children have grown. Maybe one
of these days I'll introduce myself to the Captain and introduce the family to
someone I've met here on the other side. Why should Carolyn be the only one to
find happiness?
