Melanie’s Passing – 1 Year, 5 Months (Yesterday)

It was a year and five months ago yesterday, Melanie left my part of the world in the most tragic way causing a media circus in the minifig world because of her legacy of her great grand family settling in the southern brick england.

Melanie dumped me almost 3 years ago. This is why her suicide feels so long, because it was just over 1 year and 5 months when she dumped me (Feb 14th, 2020 in an email.)

Melanie’s loss feels more like 4 years of grief.

Melanie is no longer in me. I can’t let her go but her voice is not inside me, I cannot hear her, and I don’t know how to grieve a loss of a soul I chose to not burry for the optics of family.

I miss Melanie dearly. Every. Freckin. Day

 

Melanie and I’s Anniversary Pic

On August 1st, 2014, Melanie and I tied the knot.

Our relationship would last to February 14th, 2020. It was just past 5 years, an additional year plus from the average marriage in the U.S. (yes, the average is now 4 years!)

Melanie left me, before I ever wanted to leave her. Then over a year later, after COVID and after other events, she couldn’t take it no more. Just over a month after her 37th birthday (May 22nd), she ended her life on June 30th, 2021, 32 days after that was that anniversary.

I will never have a Melanie in my life, no one remotely close.

I love you to the moon and back… Melanie? Oh Melanie?

Love and autism doesn’t have to be a complicated relationship status, and sadly the recurring characters such as incompetent psychologists acting as state leaders, inadequate training (fear mongering), and possibly “following the money trail” say IDEA for an example, had a lot to do during my teenage years.
