Melanie and I became friends when we were in 8th grade. She liked to watch me comb my long hair! As the years past we grew closer at school and church. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding. We would occasionally loose touch with each other. but when we reconnected it was like we had never been apart. It broke my heart when she told me she had been diagnosed with cancer. She was a fighter and I loved her so much. I will miss her until we meet again in heaven.
