Ex Stabbed Her 32 Times, She Was Dying. 1 Yr Later, EMT That Saved Her Has 5 Words
God can work in mysterious ways and bring someone into our lives out of nowhere, someone who will change the way we look at the world. Couples always remember the day they first met, whether it’s love at first sight or a hidden love that they discover along the way.
Melissa Dohme and Cameron Hill will never forget the series of unfortunate events which introduced them for the first time. As Melissa was leaving high school and heading off to college, she decided to break things off with her boyfriend, who reacted by assaulting her and stabbing her 32 times!
Miraculously, Melissa was saved by first responders, including Cameron Hill. She lost practically all the blood in her body, leaving doctors amazed that she was able to survive.
It was a painful journey, but she was able to recover from her injuries and she even graduated from St. Petersburg College-Clearwater. Now she works as an advocate at Hands Across the Bay, working with and helping victims of domestic violence.
She swore that she would never date again until she met the first responder who saved her life. She was granted that chance several months after her attack and they started a relationship.
About four years after the incident, Cameron Hill had a big surprise planned for his lovely girlfriend. He picked out a ring and was all set to propose!
At a Tampa Bay baseball game, Melissa was asked to throw the ceremonial first pitch.
She suspected it was because of her inspirational recovery story when in reality it was set up by Cameron.
Cameron got down on one knee and you can probably guess that Melissa said yes!
It was a beautiful moment for the couple, witnessed by thousands of people in the stadium.
“Melissa, will you marry me?” Cameron said.
They met when Cameron saved her life, and today they’re set to be married. It’s a pretty magical moment.
It was tough for Melissa to jump into another relationship. Now she’s saying, “He’s the one I’ve been waiting for. My fairy tale.”
