A message about Meleia from Chris:
I think about her everyday with regret and pain wishing I could change what happened. It almost kills me to know that no amount of guilt, tears, or regret will bring her back to the life she could have had or back to her family and friends.
She was my sister. My best friend. I never ever wanted to hurt her. If I could trade places with her, I would in a heart beat.
I punish myself everyday for it but I know that doesn't help her or her loved ones.
I want to step out of the consuming darkness and regret to honor her and those who loved her.
Meleia has a uniquely beautiful soul. She lived her life with honor. She gave so much time, energy, strength, and love to make the world better. She was brave and loyal and funny and so smart. In her short life she influenced so many people.
I can't make it up to her, to myself, or to her other loved ones but everyday I try to imagine what I can do to be better and how I can honor her memory and beautiful soul.
