♥My name is Melissa
♥I am a 23 years old
♥I graduated from nursing school on 5/15/2007. ♥This is my greatest accomplishment and I can't believe I made it.
♥I work in the hospital and all of my friends tend to call me the "Butt Nurse." ♥I was born & raised in Hope Mills, NC ♥My parents have taught me so much and made me who I am today.
♥I have an older brother, Joseph and a younger brother, Austin. They mean the world to me!
♥I also have an older brother who passed away, his name was Matthew. ♥My life has changed tremendously in the past few years. ♥Friendships & relationships change so much over months.♥Brandon is my world, he makes me so happy, makes me want to be a better person, & I love him more than I could ever love someone.♥Believe in yourself, because if you don't, no one else will believe in you.♥You make you who you are, not anyone else.
♥Live♥Love♥Laugh♥Learn from your mistakes♥Forgive♥Never forget, especially where you came from♥No Regrets♥Make Memories♥Take as many pics as you can♥Treasure your family & friends♥Smile every chance you get♥Kiss with your eyes close♥Make dreams♥Let God guide your life♥Pray every chance you get♥Believe♥Never let go of the things that are most important to you♥The loss of someone will always hurt as bad as it did when you found out, no matter what anyone says♥You will learn to live with change♥Teach your children about your past♥Drink but don't drive♥Cherish life and every moment you get to live♥Support our troops, even if you don't support the war♥Call your parents every chance you get♥Laugh until your stomach hurts♥Tell the people who are important to you how much you love them♥Remember words hurt♥Actions speak loud♥Take your time, don't live to fast♥Troubles will come and they will pass♥Work as hard as you can♥Don't rely on someone else to support you♥You have to love yourself if you want someone else to love you♥God is forever♥There is no promise of tomorrow so live as though today is your last!♥People who lie are embarrassed of themself and to tell the truth ♥Remember 9/11 and all the other tragedies that brought our country together♥The only person you have to answer to is GOD♥Don't pass judgment on others because we are all human and no matter how hard you try you will never be perfect so deal with it♥Take every situation as an opportunity to learn something from it♥Make something of yourself♥Do your best at whatever it may be♥If God brings you to it he will get you through it♥Fear is what makes you think you can't do something so let God take your fears away and you focus on the goal♥When you feel alone and that no one is there remember God is carrying you, your pain, and your burden♥Brandon, God brought us in to each others lives at this time for a reason and I am thankful that we can help each other through these trying times and soon you will be home and every second away from you will be worth it, now you are home & things are so perfect, everyday you make me realize why I love you so much.♥Money can only buy you so much happiness for such little time and then you need more♥But Love is FOREVER♥When you finally get to meet God (and I hope everyone does one day) you aren't going to be able to bring all of your money, cars, clothes, trophies, and jewelry to show him all that you have, you will be able to bring only yourself and show him all that you are, so be the best because that is really all that matters♥This poem is dedicated to my Pawpaw who will never be forgotten. Wow, how fast time flies, I remember the day this happened, what I was wearing, the way I felt sitting in the waiting room (the same one I walk by almost everyday at work) waiting on the doctor to tell us something, the look on the doctors face when he told us (it's that same look I see passing him in the halls of the hospital and him having no clue who I am), the way I felt after he told us, the collapse on the floor outside the waiting room and so many other things that go along with that night. It's crazy to think how much life changes and how hard it is to get older. It's funny also that no matter how much time passes, so much stays the same, such as calling my mamaw and having to stop myself before asking how pawpaw is doing, or going to her house and immediately walking in my pawpaws room and looking for him sleeping on his bed with TMC or CNN or something of that sort playing on the TV.

♥WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME And I'm not there to see, ♥If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me; ♥I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today, ♥While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say. ♥I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, ♥And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; ♥But when tomorrow starts without me, ♥Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, ♥And took me by the hand, And said my place was ready, ♥In heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love. ♥But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye ♥For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. ♥I had so much to live for, So much left yet to do, ♥It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you. ♥I thought of all the yesterdays, The good ones and the bad, ♥I thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had. ♥If I could relive yesterday, Just even for a while, ♥I'd say good-bye and kiss you And maybe see you smile. ♥But then I fully realized, That this could never be, ♥For emptiness and memories, Would take the place of me. ♥And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, ♥I thought of you, and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow. ♥But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. ♥When God looked down and smiled at me, From his great golden throne, ♥He said, "This is eternity, And all I've promised you. ♥Today your life on earth is past, But here life starts anew. ♥I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last, ♥And since each day's the same way There's no longing for the past. ♥You have been so faithful, ♥So trusting and so true. ♥Though there were times you did some things You knew you shouldn't do. ♥But you have been forgiven And now at last you're free. ♥So won't you come and take my hand And share life with me." ♥So when tomorrow starts without me, ♥Don't think we are far apart, ♥For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.***Email...
