Laspector[TK] Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 My girlfriend of 4 years was killed October 31st at 7pm in a tragic car accident. She was on the interstate and her car went dead. No lights or anything. She could not even get to the shoulder. Another car stopped behind her to help. Melanie was getting out to get her emergency kit when a third car veered around the car behind her and swung back in at 70 mph and struck her. She was DOA at the hospital. I was not with her at the time. I received the call about 9pm. We were going to announce our engagement at Christmas as a wonderful present to our families. We wanted to get married and start a family. Now all those dreams are gone. Her poor daughter had just gotten married 4 weeks earlier. Also, her daughter's 20th birthday was the day before the funeral. Melanie was getting her master's degree in art. Her family and I set up a memorial scholarship in her name. I think she would have liked that. I feel like my life is over. The pain gets worse every day. The days just seem to blur together. Melanie was a brilliant artist and sculptor. Whenever I see the sky now I just think of her painting the sunsets and sculpting the clouds. Please think of her next time you see a beautiful sky.

GreaterOf2Evils Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I've sat here for some time now trying to find words to express what I want to say, but they feel too small in the face of such a great loss. But I won't forget you, or her, or your loss, any time soon. I'll be sure to think of her when I admire the sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
