It has been nearly a year now and I wish I could turn back time. This year, since your passing, has gone so quickly by. It is now a new year. The New Millennium the year 2000, was to be your year. The year you turned 21. The year you were to travel to France. The year you would leave "Your Mark" on the world. You had such hopes and dreams, and plans. You were such a dreamer. Always believing in the impossible.
One thing that you never dreamed of, and neither did I truly, that your life could end so soon. That you could be taken away from us. Never to hear your voice or hear your laughter, nor see your smile again. Never to feel your hugs and kisses or to smell your scent again. To be with you, to talk with you, to see you grow into a more beautiful woman. Even now it still seems so unreal.
If I could turn back time, My Melanie, I would. I would do so many things different. Things on that fateful night. Just one thing done differently on that night, could have changed everything. It would have prevented all this pain, sorrow, and loss. But most of all you would have been here with us still.
But I can't change time. I can only hope that you are with the Angels and that you are happy. We are left with the memories of You. Your smile, your laughter and your insatiable joy. To carry on and to protect your memory. To be sure that you are not forgotten and that the world will still see "Your Mark!"
I Love You Melanie,
Mama
