Melissa, the daughter of my brother's best friend has had heart trouble since birth and has undergone over a hundred different operations in Hartford and Boston just to keep her alive long enough to be put on the donor list.
17 long hard years this straight A senior has struggled just to be able to breathe and dress herself in the morning. An amazing young lady who would do anything for anyone, with the most positive view on life and love.
Melissa has never quite built up enough strength to be able to undergo a heart transplant. She would not survive that operation according to the cardiologist.
The make a wish foundation recently sent her on a cruise and she has been looking forward to learning to drive a car and graduating high school.
Today she got up had breakfast, dressed and went off to catch the bus to school like every other day. She fell asleep on the way there and never woke up.
May god rest her soul and watch over her parents who are two of the strongest people I have ever had the pleasure to meet.
