Dear Melissa,
Today is the day you chose to leave us all behind, to take yourself out of the world, to face no more hurt, no more pain, tears, sarrow. I somewhat understand why you did it, because you wanted to be happy to be free from all the bullshitters that are in this world but what i dont understand is how you felt that dying was better. Look at all the stuff you missed in a year, and take into consideration these are just the things in my life, not to mention Elizabeth, Taylor, Chelsea, Hayden, Jessie, Aubrey, Lisa, Dad, Our little sister Racheal, you missed me running for Miss Homecoming Queen, my last christmas being considered as a minor, the birthday card a baught for your 30th birthday, My 18th birthday, my first party as a highschool senior, my first sneeking out the house story, my final softball season as a senior, my class day, My whole senior year, My graduation, my first real job, my first tattoo, my first attempt to live in this world by myself, the first time i was single for more than 6 months, my self realization of Who I am and where i want to be, my first day of college, my first possibibly husband material boyfriend and finally today the first day of the first year without you to tell you everything. I hate this look at all you missed just with me Melissa.
Today sucked by the way, I woke up to dad banging on the door at 10:35am to say he wanted to take me to breakfast, you know me the fatty said Hell yeah! But it was bright and sunny outside, warm. Then i came home around 2 and fell asleep waiting on Steven to come back online, and out like light bulb in a thunderstorm there i was dead to the world! So i woke up around 430 which is about the time i found out that you died last year and it was dark and rainly and just plain depressing outside! Thanks god rub it in that its an awful day for me, I screamed in my mind but psh whatever. Not like he cares my best friend in the whole world couldnt even tell me that she couldnt come see me like she promised she would, but i guess i wouldnt want to be around me on a day like today either. I just felt blah today honestly, i didnt really know what to think or what to say to anybody. Ive pretty much just sat in a depressing mood today but then i thought...
Melissa wouldnt want me to sit here and be upset for something that wasnt my fault nor my choice so i said what the hell, went and got a chili bacon cheeseburger with chili cheese fries, a bag of donuts and about 6 mello yellows and some newports shorts in the box, got me threw the day. Yeah, you know best how I am a fat person trapped inside a skinny persons body lol. Ha remember that day i made a bet with Chris that i could eat like 5 of his monster burgers and i got to 4 and a half! oh man good times! oh and the first night, when i got home from the airport Chris had stuffed Mushrooms waiting for me! Ah Best summer ever, plus the food was amazing. I Remember everything that happened in that summer, from the cabin building at 2am, to the tree house we built, to the morning you left list on the back of chairs for us to do. Ha gosh i miss you.
But Melissa theres something i have to talk to you about, and there is you to thank for this. I am almost positive that when Steven comes home that he will purpose and I am completely content with this matter of fact im excited and really happy! Everytime i think about him my heart beats fast and my mouth goes dry and secertly i can hardly talk :) I get so excited. And Life is to short, so Im going to live everyday like its my last! If that means saying Yes to Steven then i will say yes, moving to North Carolina finding a little house and making it ours then Yes. I want to do it all! Yes Im young but what the hell!
I wish you were here to approve him, dad likes him and so does mom :) which is a good thing because they have never really liked a single boy friend Ive had! SO what im tring to say is i wish you were here to come to my wedding OFCOURSE IT WILL BE AWHILE FROM NOW! SO EVERYONE DONT FREAK OUT but i think thats the next biggest thing that your going to miss and i always pictured you by my side holding my flowers and telling me just say yes like nike or something like that lol.
I work with a really sweet lady, she has lime disease and she inspires me alot like you did. Because shes a hard worker, determined, responsible not to many people like that in the world. Anyways
hope its been a wonderful year where you are because its been a wonderful year for me just wish you coulda been here to see it with me.
Love you
Very

You Little sister.
