Melissa

I just wanted to add to my blog what I wrote about Melissa at her funeral...even now that I still read it I cry I miss her everyday and wish I could see her, Mike and Jessica. I don't no when the hurt will go away but it is still fresh on my mind if you couldn't tell. She was an amazing person and sister she would go to the ends of the world for anyone. It is hard to go to family events now that our family is getting littler and littler on this side. I posted on face book that I wish Heaven had visiting hours, oh I really wish that was true just to be able to see them and give them a hug and let them no how much I miss them and love them. It feels like a piece of me are missing but I have to keep going for my family.

Here it is

First of all I just want to thank everyone for coming and supporting my family and I at this time and for all the love that we have felt from everyone.

            I am so grateful that I have a sister like Melissa she has been there for me through so much. Within the last 10 years we have lived with each other for 7 of those years and even though we drove each other crazy one time or another, I wouldn’t change it for the world. I am glad that we were able to live together and have those bonding sister moments. I’m sure going to miss that with her.

            I am so blessed to have so many memories with her like when my mom her and I would have girls day out for our birthdays since they all fall in August. We looked forward to it every year. Whether it was going to Wendover for the buffets just to make it last all day or go to dinner and a movie. This year we were planning on going to Dessert star play house and dinner for our birthdays but I guess the Lord has different plans for Melissa on the other side. It will defiantly be hard to continue having them without her by our sides but I know she will be watching over us and would want us to continue our yearly tradition.

            Melissa was an amazing Aunt she loved her nieces and nephews so much. Anytime Melissa would go to the store, Makenzie my daughter would always want to go to the store with her and by the time they came back Makenzie would have a bag of goodies that Melissa bought for them, she could never say no to her.  I am so thankful that they got to know her and loved her like I did.

            Melissa is now up in heaven dancing and some may say Karoking with Mike and Jessica. I can see her now just talking their ears off and not letting them get a word in. She was one who could talk for hours whether you knew what she was talking about or not. I will sure miss her and all her stories she would tell.

I am so thankful for the Gospel in my life and for Eternal Families and for knowing that one day we will all be reunited as a family. It may not be easy right now to understand why, but I have to have faith in the lord that we will see each other again. It pushes me harder to be the best I can to live my life the way he would want me to so I can be worthy enough to return to them one day.

            I just want Melissa to know how proud I am of her and for the love that she had for her family and my kids. I will miss you dearly Melissa. Thank you for being my best friend and partner in crime growing up. Give Mike and Jessica a big hug for me. I love you and I will not say good bye but Till we meet again….
