That's very nice of you.
She was like a real-life Seinfeld.
She was not afraid to put it all out there, including stuff others might find too personal or embarrassing.I did that not long after learning of her situation. I sent a mass e-mail to friends and family telling them about her personality then what had befallen her. I reinforced the point that DR made a few posts ago:
!!!!!
Mel hated me when I first started posting. I got bored while preggers with my last baby and we began to joke around in her. She got interested in my pregnancy and we became online friends. She sent the baby a cute outfit and a stuffed doggie. I named it Rassie of course and it sleeps with me until the baby(almost 3) is old enough to cherish it. She came to visit me at work one day and bring me a house warming gift. A case of AA batteries. Thanks Mel, that helped my new single staus lol. A few months later she came to my son's 4th bday party. She bought him an outfit and at the bottom of the bag was a gift for Mommy (me). I pulled it out in front of family and 26 toddlers. And what do ya know, a pack of AA batteries. My parents rolled and I blushed. The grin on her face was priceless. A few months later she told me she had cancer. I cried for hours. Mel called me a few times a week to hear about my love life. Often she'd make a crack about needing batteries or not. She never hung up the phone without telling me she loved me. When I got the new place I'm in now she gave me a lamp. She told me that it was mood lighting for my bedroom. She went through her closet one day and called me because she found a pair of boots that I HAD to have. I put those on just so I can feel like I've walked in Mel's shoes.
Over the years she became a big sister to me. I've lost many family members and friends but I've never been hurt by their deaths like I have by hers. I shut down and let depression hit me. It's still gets to me. I lay in bed every night hugging my Rassie. I thank God that I've had my bf to help me thru this. I wish he had gotten to meet her. He would have loved her and she would have loved him. Oh and sorry Mel, I won't be marrying who you wanted me to.
Sorry for the length of this. Just had to get it out. She brought so much laughter into my life. I know she's looking down at me laughing at the funny crap I do and say. She told me that I was a younger version of her and that I needed to embrace the biatch in me because there's nothing wrong with being a biatch.
Mel,

Mel,
This thread keeps sucking me in, just like a magnet. Just reading and learning about how much Mel was loved. She sure has touched many, many lives.
