This Pink Anniversary

July 4, 2018 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

Today, Tuesday, is an anniversary of sorts for me. It isn’t an anniversary connected to Chuck, since it happened after he died. And yet, it is entirely connected to him. Because today is the day, 5 years ago, that I picked up my new Ford Escape from the garage, and the man, I’d taken it to after buying it from the dealer. I took it directly…

These Shades of Pink

June 6, 2018 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

Chuck wants me to tell you he wouldn’t leave you without a road map. He wants you to be aware of the markers he’s left for you, both physical and metaphysical. Whatever you’re doing, keep on doing it. You’re on the right track. Did you know that you’re surrounded by so many angels that I can’t even count them? You’re protected. These…

Every piece of the road, every rest stop, every billboard, every bridge…all were familiar to me.  Chuck and I drove this route our second year out as Happily Homeless, as we made our way to Key West for the first time.  Our red Ford Escape and miles to go, absorbing the…

It isn’t that it goes away. We just get stronger, and we carry it differently.Such…

The Good, Bad, Ugly, and Everything in Between~

March 23, 2016 by Alison Miller Leave a Comment

This is a list. Not a gratitude list necessarily, but a list that does include some good shit, nonetheless. And sometimes it’s easier to write in list form than prose form.  This past weekend I had a massive, huge, meltdown/purge/nervous breakdown. Included were earthquake size shakes throughout my body, shallow breathing, sobbing, gut-wrenching…
