Left to raise four newborns alone, Carlos named them Carlos Jr., Paisley, Tracey, and the third girl after his late wife, “Erica.” Overcoming immense grief, Carlos learned essential parenting skills and welcomed support from Erica’s mother, Sondra Bridges.
Reflecting on his unexpected journey into single fatherhood, Carlos expressed, “I went from having the best day of my life to the next morning experiencing the worst day of my life. My four babies came into the world, and then my wife died.”
