Where it is real F ing COLD
11 years ago I met a wonderful, beautiful young lady named Melissa. She was very vibrant and wonderful to be around we only dated for about 6 months. I was 27 and she was 21 and she was
a bit insecure around me. She thought I was a player (lol) and a Co worker who worked with me told her we were fooling around (wasn't) but she didn't believe me and we broke up.

2 weeks ago Melissa contacted me via face book. She wanted to catch up, set the record straight, and entertain the thought of a true reconnection. We talked for about 2 hours everyday, we decided that we would go out last Sunday night. I talked to her until midnight Saturday night and then texted her at 10 am Sunday morning to ask if she had "sweet dreams" Sadly that text was never answered, Little Missi past away in her sleep. Missi had struggles with anorexia and even though she was only a little under weight, her heart finally gave out at 32. Tuesday was my birthday and we were looking forward to spending the day together, I know we had only reconnected for 2 weeks but we had history and great conversations every day literally hours before she past. She had told me that she told her mother that we reconnected, I wrote her mother a letter telling her what Missy had told me... How much she had loved her. Her mother told me that Missi was excited to be talking to me
again. I have been a wreck since then, you know that feeling you get when you are starting or think
You are starting something new, it was different with her cause she knew what I was about. Sports sports sports and fishing. She didn't care about that, and then wham it's gone. I keep playing that mental rollercoaster of "what if?" then I think I'm one selfish prick, here I am and her family is just going bonkers. I read the facebook posts her family and friends have left and she was that special. This has got to be the worst month or so I have ever had. I really thought her re entering my life was payback or a sign of good
Things to come since the loss of my good
Friends Dave and Dawn. No it was just More torture. If you want to read about her...Melissa Randa Sundquist on FB.

I know I shouldn't keep writing about this stuff but I need to write it out cause the people I talk to are working right now and special thanks to FDC for talking about it, my birthday was fucking tough. Started drinking at 11 Am and closed up the bars. I had a dd and a bunch of friends. My friends remembered her from back then and they were great. It's amazing how 2 weeks and history can affect you. In some ways I wish we never would of reconnected and then it seems fitting that we settled the score and expressed our feelings. Just ironic or maybe fate. Maybe she felt sick and wanted to reconcile. So many questions that can never be answered and it really sucks.

Hate this happened to you, her and her family.

Just think that at least she reconnected with you before she passed. She must have had two weeks of fun conversations. Sad ending though.

I am sorry.

In my experience life kicks you in the face over and over, and the only reason you know it hurts is because between each kick some pretty amazing things can happen.

This is a horrible story, but be glad you got to talk to a wonderful human being 2 weeks more than you ever thought you would.

Hang tough.

That's terrible. Sorry for your losses - certainly a dark time, but certainly much brighter to come.

Sending positive thoughts your way.

I know it was good to reconnect. Made me
Realize how much I liked her, that what if game is a bugger. Let's face it I'm almost 40 and I'm terrible at relationships I guess. I have a big heart but like to do my own thing, selfish prick.
She lived with her parents back then and we would have bonfires in the backyard. Parents were the coolest, she has a bunch of pictures of us together that she wants me to have.

Missi's adult life was not the greatest. A child died of SIDS 8 years ago, then her anorexia started, abusive husband ( guy after me ) She had talked about starting a new, feeling like she was really starting to live again after separating from her husband. He put her into the hospital 5 months ago and she left. Her emotional scars and condition were just sad. I guess I like the people with a broken wing. Our talks were very in depth and we both were on the same page as far as going forward. She wondered what life would of been like had we not broken up years ago. She was just 21, what do you expect? I just keep going over our conversations and she sent me a
Ton of photos on my phone. She was a very funny and sometimes outrageous and I loves that about her.

bleedingpurple I know how you feel. i lost a son a few years ago and I would look back and think "what it i had done this or that" would things have been different. You can not continue live in the past and think this way. I know it is very tough but you must become at peace with yourself. You said you you have picture.
Cherish those and remember the good times that the two of you had together. You will be in my prayers

The funeral is tomorrow and I am going to feel way out of place. I mean I have been out of her life for 11 years until 2 weeks ago. Everyone in there except a few are going to be like whose that guy. Her husband I guess flew in, I know the mother has her phone. I told her he would
Flip if he seers what we texted. Separated for 5 months or not, I am sure he is devastated and wouldn't want to see the flirty texts.
Anyway I'm going and I don't care what people think. I'll give her parents and brothers a big hug and that will be it. Will go over to her moms next week I think to get the pictures. I guess I would like to see her mom and dad from time to time
But that just maybe plain weird. Too many emotions
