The day I bought this dress, I thought of you and your love of secondhand shopping.

The day I bought this dress, I thought of your smile and energy. I knew you would be excited at my find.

The day I bought this dress, I was looking forward to another great family vacation with you, the family picture you wanted taken, more evenings of take-1, and a future filled with great times together.

The day I bought this dress, I had such hopes for you wherever your life was to lead you.

The day I bought this dress, I hoped to someday love your children the way you loved mine.

The day I bought this dress just 3 weeks ago, you were still here.

The day I wore this dress, I put it on with the heaviest heart imaginable.

The day I wore this dress, it soaked up the tears of many.

The day I wore this dress, I  leaned on our family and friends to keep me going.

The day I wore this dress, I received a 1000 hugs; but none of them were yours.

The day I wore this dress, I still wasn’t convinced you were gone and expected you to bring on the party.

The day I wore this dress, the thought “this is too much to bare” rang through my head louder than any words spoken.

The day I wore this dress, my hopes for the future together were shattered; but I will cling to the beautiful memories we’ve made, the life you lived and the spirit of living loud that you brought to everyone you knew.

I love you and miss you, Alicia Corinne Miller ~ October 23, 1987 – April 28, 2011. May you find the peace you longed for on this earth.
