Here is Melissa at 20-years-old right before her boyfriend tried to kill her by stabbing her 32 times.
Melissa made a miraculous recovery.
Melissa’s best friend Kayla was by her side the entire time.
She went through several reconstructive surgeries.
Even her faithful pooch Dixie was by her side the whole time.
Later on in her recovery she went to a church event and that was where she met her hero.
By 2013, Melissa and Cameron were in love!
Melissa fought for her life and now fights to bring awareness to others about domestic violence.
Her ex-boyfriend is in prison for first-degree murder.
Melissa had no idea Cameron was there with a huge surprise.
Then Cameron jogged onto the field and asked her to marry him.
Of course you know what her answer was.
This is a dream come true for Melissa.
