“All of my imaginings about Melody
were like sketch drawings in comparison to the vividness of her.
And I imagined a lot, but not her warmth, her sweetness,
her love for her family, her plans to go into space engineering.
She laughed from her belly and it would shake her whole body.
She hummed when impatient, she cursed loudly
when she was happy. I collected all these moments of her,
filled in my thought sketches with color and texture, painted her
portrait
in my mind. I don't ever want to forget, I thought,
the fullness of this woman.”
