My One True Love is Gone Forever

We met in high school, and some might say that we got too serious too early, but I know we would have stayed together for a lifetime. I just wish we had been able to.
 
Nov. 18, 2013 - PRLog -- I met Gina my sophomore year of high school. I wouldn’t say it was love at first sight, though I was interested in her. I had an aggressive study program planned, since I already knew I wanted to be a doctor, so romance wasn’t exactly the first thing on my mind, but we soon ended up spending more and more time together. She was planning to go into medicine too, and she was a great study partner. She was extremely shy with anyone she wasn’t familiar with, but once she got to know me a bit better and opened up, she turned out to be warm and funny. http://thegoodnewsis.com/Category/losing-your-wife

When we started dating, not a single one of our friends was surprised. I would have been annoyed at the teasing they gave us, but I was just too happy. We stayed together throughout high school and ended up going to college together as well. It was harder to make time for each other there, with our stressful pre-med studies, but we managed.

I proposed to her the year before we graduated. I knew by then that there was no way I wanted to spend my life with anyone but her. She felt the same way. Our friends weren’t surprised by that, either. They all said that it would be too early for marriage for most couples, but they couldn’t picture us ever splitting up. - http://thegoodnewsis.com/contents/How-It-Works

We were married that summer and spent our final year of our undergraduate life living together before both of us moved on. I pursued a full medical degree, and she had decided to aim for being a registered nurse. After a year of her program, she had the opportunity to do a travel study over the summer, and she jumped on it. I would miss her, but I couldn’t hold her back from something she wanted this badly.

I still wish I had.

While she was abroad, the bus that she was taking to another village was run off the road. She died instantly.

Without a body, I couldn’t really believe the news for a long time. I had already been having a hard enough time adjusting to life without her while she was away for a short while. How was I supposed to adjust to her being gone forever? It seemed nothing short of surreal. I didn’t know how to deal with her family or her things. Our friends have done their best to support me this past year, but it’s still been hard. I took a year off my degree, but I’ve finally decided I have to go back to school. It hurts to think of not being able to share my life with her anymore, but I know she would want me to move forward and become a doctor as I always dreamed.
