I loved Melody. If not for her I wouldn't be alive today...She was a friend, a room-mate, a nurse and a mother to me. I miss you so much Melody. I wish I could have said goodbye.

Happy Birthday Melody! I have been thinking of you every day! I can't believe it's been a year since you got sick. All my memories of that time are bittersweet, I lost you-but at the same time I was there for you-I'm so grateful for that! I miss you, miss you miss you!

Today was the first Christmas without Melody. She would save all the presents she would receive from friends and family, so she could open them on Christmas morning. What would seem to be small things to others, would be her favorite presents-like a box of Blueberry Morning cereal. Her favorite holiday was Christmas. Last year I asked her if she wanted to listen to Christmas music as we drove to one of our favorite stores-she soon realized it was from South Park! Merry Christmas Melody!
