Angie,
about 15 years ago I lost my husband in combat. We married right out of high school. We were married besides the fact that I loved him because he joined the Army. Anyway, long story short...you will one day meet someone who will sweep you off your feet. Someone who will be loving to you. Someone who will remind you how good it feels to be in love. I'm so sorry you lost the love of you life but you are still a very young woman. I can't believe that you actually and really want to stay alone the rest of you life. Never knowing the feelings of being in love again? I thought that's what I wanted to never know love again. To never know because then I would never have to feel the pain again. However, that just meant that I took my life and laid it to rest with my husband. Then after 10 years I ran into the most amazing man. We have been married a few years now. I would have never meet him had I not allowed myself to come to terms with my dead husband. I will always remeber Kevin and will always keep my momentos of us but please don't do what I did and let years go by before you live your life. You cannot live for the dead just like the dead cannot live for us. They cannot look down on us and keep us safe or warm or out of harms way. Do what you must for now but always keep one eye on the futur or one day you will wake up and realize that you are alone and lonely and you will realize that memories of a dead loved one do not sustane us in life. Good luck and keep your options open.

Bianca - May I ask who you are ? I am Adrian older sister and I just read your comment and I would like to know if there really is a baby because from our understanding my brother didnt have any kids nor did he ever mention a girl being pregnant and if this is really true why would you keep this from his family or wait so long to come out and say somethig if this lil boy is really my brothers son then we would love to be a part of his life. I really hope you would take the time to read this and comment back this is no joke if there really is a piece of my brother still here on earth then we would want to know Can you please email me @ joannasoto@ymail.com now you have his loved one thinking there is still a part of him here this would bring lots of joy to my mother PLEASE ANSWER ME BACK
Sept. 23, 2011 at 1:02 p.m.
Hi Joanna-
For the sake of Adrian I was to keep this a secret from everyone but yes I have his son hes 3 but now i know y he wnted me to keep it a secret...hes married i never kknew this...this is hurting me so much I cant believe he could ever do this to me....i love him so much....hes trully missed his son looks just like Adrian...
Sept. 26, 2011 at 12:26 p.m.
ANGIE---
So ur his wife...i cant believe this...I have his son whose named after him hes 3 now....He looks so much like his dad...I was to keep this is a secret but i just couldnt anymore...Im sorry Angie that u have to find out this way but I had to let his secret out...Ive been wth Adrian for 5 years..we meet at a party in L.A. Its so crazee to find out all of this when hes gone..Only Adrian knows y he did this....
Sept. 26, 2011 at 1:08 p.m.
Bianca- To clear the air my brother was NEVER married yes Angie was his girlfriend for many years and I could say the love of his life but to be honest that is not even the issue right now. I dont understand why my brother would have wanted you to keep quite about this lil boy I dont want you to feel that I am coming off wrong towards you but honestly there is really only one true way to find out and that would be letting us (his family ) do a DNA test because now that you have come out with this you really have his family thinking if he really could have left a baby behind and if you allow us to this and this lil boy is his then we would like to be a part of his life and if you dont allow it then there is nothing we could really do but always live with that doubt I really didnt want to write all this on here I would have rather you write to my email because this is a personal issue
Sept. 27, 2011 at 12:30 p.m.
JOANNA---
Oh so ur brother is not married? well, thats good to know...so Angie is just a girlfriend but still he wnted this a secret I guess so that Angie wouldnt find out right? that has to be it...
I would love to take a DNA test to proove that Adrian Jr is ur brothers son...Trust me I know who my baby daddy is...I know that Adrian loved me even though he was wth Angie..He was alwayz there for us whenever wE NEEDED him...
I would love to meet u guys and have a relationship wth u guys for the sake of Adrian & his son...I have no problem wth that...I just have to find the time to do the test since I work so much...I can maybe take a day off...But thanks Joanna for ur concerns about ur nephew...The minute u see him u can tell hes ur brothers son they look exactly alike...I show Jr alot of pictures of ur brother I tell him that daddy is in heaven wth da angels lookin down on us right now...Jr he justs laughs and says Daddy I LOVE U....its the most saddest thing to see.....
Take care Joanna
Sept. 27, 2011 at 2:37 p.m.
Wow I didn't know this but it's too late to get mad I loved Adrian so much and if u do have a baby by him both his family and I would love to be a part of his life so Bianca I would love to keep in touch but not here so please email me at aoferrall@gmail.com both u and I can find the closure that we might need so I'll be waiting for your email
Angie o'ferrall
Sept. 27, 2011 at 3:54 p.m.
Hi Bianca - Okay so when can we do this and I would rather you email me to my personal email then on here because like I said before this is a very personal issue this is my email address joannasoto@ymail.com that way we can also exchange numbers so we can take this test and put an end to any doubts
Sept. 28, 2011 at 12:13 p.m.
Please keep us all informed...
I want to know if this baby thing is real...
Sept. 28, 2011 at 2:08 p.m.
Who needs TV when you can get so much heart warming drama here... I think it is wonderful that something very positive has come out of this senseless act. May God bless all of you!
Sept. 28, 2011 at 3:01 p.m.
Oh wow... they were right about this one. Rest In Peace to Adrian (i don't know him by the way) but damn, that's some stuff that was discovered on here... Sam, u might wanna check this out and also write a blog about this one here... =)
Sept. 28, 2011 at 8:31 p.m.
Joanna,
From someone who just went through this with my brother's "girlfriend." I live in Az. But the story is just the same...brother died in a car accident four years later someone shows up claiming the toddler to be his son. After almost one year of excuse after excuse a paternity test was done. Turned out he was not my brother's son! We saw the little boy aften fell in love with him. She could never find the time. Finally dropped the baby off walked to CVS purchased a DNA paterity test myself swabbed the inside cheek, swabbed my cheek. Mailed samples in...four weeks later not related. I'm not saying excusses are being made here already but becareful. When the news came back...it was almost like mourning my brother all over again. Especially for my mother. Move slowly and if she can't find the time...let it go. It isn't worth putting your Mother through this/that again. Sure it would be nice to know and to have a relationship with him the little boy but NOT at the expense of your sanity. Good luck hope your story turns out better then mine.
Sept. 29, 2011 at 12:28 a.m.
I don't know you guys, obviously, but I think Joanna is being to hasty. Take it slow I agree with Sister city. I lost my brother last year and it would hurt so much to go through the same mourning. Take care of your family.
Sept. 29, 2011 at 9:38 a.m.
TO JOANNA AND ANGIE...
HEY GIRLS... THIS IS AN AMAZING STORY...
The truth will come out no matter what. But if u go back to this blog, u obviously see someone posting 'bout
A&M ALWAYS N 4EVA
I might be wrong, but if u take some time and read this, maybe u can notice after she postes this, theirs someone else posting 'bout a child.
Like I said, '' I Must be wrong '', but Sister city is right, u can always do what she did. If she really comes around...
Im thinking is probably someone trying to play with ur family... But hey, who would have the heart to do this... this is really sad.
BIANCA IF THIS IS REALLY TRUE, DONT TAKE THIS KID AWAY FROM HIS REAL FAMILY, THATS WAITING TO MEET WHATS LEFT OF ADRIAN. Please have a heart and take him so they can meet. If this is really the truth why wait so long. Im pretty sure that if u knew him for so long u know where they stay at...
Joanna and Angie keep ur heads up and just think of the possitive things that were here when Adrian was around. Plus where ever his at, am pretty sure his looking out on u guys and his family.... take good care and hope ur hopes come true... that way ur family will have a little piece of Adian...
Adrian R.I.P.

Adee,
Just want to let you know that you are very truly missed, And Jimmy and I visit you every chance we get...I'll be leaving soon to the military but ill make sure Jimmy takes flower to you from me! Until we meet again cousin! we love you!
Oct. 12, 2011 at 3:09 p.m.
Did no one notice the Sep 27th comment at 3:54 was supposed to be from this Angie chick but was signed Bianca? I really hope you're not just one person making all this up. That would be so incredibly disrespectful to Adrian and his family.
Dec. 9, 2011 at 11:24 a.m.
How did this turn out....Was it his child or not?...I think i'm reading a clipping of the Maury Povich show...can you please an update....
Dec. 9, 2011 at 12:25 p.m.
OMG!
THIS IS A REALLY SAD STORY
I know its hard to lose someone you really LOVE, but life goes on. I hope you guys find out the truth of whether or not Bianca's kid is Adrian's son. please keep us readers posted. Let us know if you guys found out the TRUTH. please.
Dec. 9, 2011 at 1:20 p.m.
ahhh...come on, is this true...or am i being punked-or am i on candid camera, the whole story is sad, on both ends..sounds like somebody was being untrue, and what's up with the secrets..may god be with you all, and let's find out the end to this saga..
Dec. 9, 2011 at 4:43 p.m.
it was all false
Jan. 19, 2012 at 11:04 p.m.
That's absolutely horrible.
Jan. 29, 2012 at 12:45 a.m.
I can't believe that it's already going to be three years soon. I still can't understand why or how come this had to happen.. I only know that I miss you so very much Mijo. There is not a day that passes that I am not thinking of you. I remember that day so clear as if it just happened. My life has changed so much. I feel as if the day they took your life away that they took a big part of me too. I wish that I could wake up and it would all be a dream and you would just walk in the door and say "Mom I'm home".. I guess all I can look forward to is that we will be together again one day soon.. Until then Mijo just know that I love you and will forever keep you in my heart.. I LOVE AND MISS YOU
YOUR MOMMY
