Dear Lisa - I'll Always Remember You

February was probably the most difficult month I have ever had. After wrecking my car on February 9th, I had a hard time getting around ... I had forgotten to add rental coverage to my insurance policy when I signed up ... Smooth ... Next, I lost my new phone only six days after I got it ... so, I was out of contact for a day or two ... Then, the Broward Sheriffs department lost my accident report ... so my insurance company delayed my claim until I tracked down the reporting officer to give me a copy ... I'm still waiting for a claim check there ... However, nothing could have been more devastating to me than what happened next. On February 16th, 2009, my girlfriend committed suicide ... Until then, I hadn't ever had someone close to me do something so drastic. When I found out that she had been found dead ... I was in disbelief ... the realization didn't actually set in for a couple of days ... I think I went into an immediate state of denial. It was about a week later that all at once, the pain and reality that my beautiful, loving and sweet girlfriend was gone ... hit me.

The pain of losing her has been so intense that I have nearly been unable to function and work. She was very special to me and we were in the height of our relationship ... I don't want to discuss the events that led up to her death ... they are too personal to share at this point ... But, I have been completely immersed in a state of shock, sorrow, grief and sadness ever since the day I heard what had happened to her. Honestly, I just want to say that I loved Lisa very much and I will always remember her for the intimate times we shared together. She was the light of my life and I will never forget her ...

Dear Lisa, I will always remember you baby ...

Love always,

Eddie
