- About my Loss:
- I met Tristan James Hale on December 14th, 2009. Walking across the parking lot to my car on the icy pavement, I slipped and fell. Just like a scene out of a movie, I saw a very handsome stranger knelt next to me, his arm extended, holding the back of my head in his hand before it could slam into the frozen pavement. That's what started it all. After a year of dating, Tristan proposed to me and I said yes. Weve been planning for months with a set date. December 17th - an evening snowy Virginia wedding. Unfortunately my plans for thit particular day have now changed, due to the fact that my Tristan is no longer here. I lost my best friend on November 14th. It was suppose to me a fun night with the boys to celebrate. Tristan's bachelor party ended abruptly at around 11:35pm when Tristan was rushed to the ER after being accidentally drugged by an anonymous bar goer. I got the call right away and sped to the hospital. He was barely conscious. I crawled up into the bed with my fiance and just laid there holding him. I wish I would have known that when I lifted my head to kiss him, it would be our last. I whispered that I loved him in his ear. I heard him mumble, "I love you more, Lay." Hoping everything would be ok, I rested my head next to his. Everything was not ok though. We were out of time. In a matter of minutes, Tristan unexpectedly flat lined. The doctors called it an overdose. His heart couldn't take it. I have never been so devastated in my life. I am completely and utterly heartbroken. What is the meaning of my life now? My prince charming was taken from me without warning. I feel as though I will never heal from this. I will never love another the same way. Tristan James, you are my hero.. you have been since that chilly afternoon in December 2009 when you placed your hand beneath my head to prevent it from bashing on the icy parking lot. What has happened to you and me is so not fair and I will never understand what we did to deserve this. I would give ANYTHING to see you smile, to nuzzle my face into your neck, to have your arms wrapped around me while I sleep, to breathe you in.. to feel your kiss. I meant it when I said I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. I'm yours forever, Darling. I made a promise to you. Thats why in 4 weeks, I will march in the snow up to that historic stone church in my dream wedding dress and vow to love you until the day that I die. But for now, I will fall asleep without you.. praying, wishing and hoping that this is all a nightmare.
