365 Days: The Lori Miller Memorial Project
So, in keeping with Lori's wishes for this blog (for it to be both a source of support, and also a creative outlet for those in need of healing,) I've decided it would be only proper to to do some of my own public grieving right here on Too Sexy For My Hair.
With today being Lori's 32nd Birthday, I feel it's the perfect time for me to kick off my year-long Lori Miller Memorial Project––what I expect to be a daily remembrance of my dear wife, and all that she means to me.
Some entries may be short, while others may be long-winded; some with photos, some without... in the end, my simple wish is to publicly honor this amazing woman for all that she was, all that she gave to myself and others, and all the adventures she managed to get herself into and out of––always with perfect grace.
Happy Birthday Sweetpea,
Your Loving Husband, Cary
P.S. For those wishing to keep up on what's going on with me personally, you're welcome to visit me at www.carymiller.net, though I warn you, it isn't going to be pretty ;)

I think this is an awesome idea. There is so much to learn from our caregivers and you sharing your feelings is so important for all of us who knew Lori in our own way. She touched, continues to touch, and certainly your openly grieving and sharing your feelings will for sure keep her memory alive for all of us and assist us in our own grieving for the huge loss of Lori in the flesh.
When a caregiver is genuine, sincere, loyal, forgiving, loving, open, trustworthy, considerate, well...you get it, when a caregiver is all those things, as I know you were for Lori, that caregiver (you) are as invaluable as the one for whom you cared so specially.
Cary, you loved, protected, and guided Lori through the most important thing in life...to die. Your strength allowed her to live and to die with dignity and grace.
Lori was Lori before you, that goes without saying, obviously you know this, as you were as drawn to her as all of us...but together you and Lori were a powerful force.
I agree that Lori approves of your plan to share yourself as openly as she did on this venue and it is apparent she is guiding you now, although her body that betrayed her for so long is no longer needed, but she is most definitely with you, and I pray she is with all of us too.
Many blessings and strength to you.
What a beautiful act of love.
Thank you, both of you... so far it has been both horribly painful, and incredibly healing.
I can't believe I'm only two days in.
Lori touched me in a way that I am only just beginning to fathom, and digging through those memories is both brutal and loving business.
I hope I don't let her down.
Thank you for sharing the pain with me... I find my spirit lifted whenever anybody leaves a comment on this blog.
Thanks again,
C
I just found this site today, what you're doing is amazing.
It sounds like Lori was a wonderful woman who touched your life in so many ways, thank you for sharing them with us.
