thank you for everyone’s support of this page, i truly cannot express how much it has meant to me. however im going to be gone from it for awhile. i still have big plans for what i want to do to heal myself in my grief by taking the initiative to do what i can to protect kids and families from the harms of drinking and driving. i will be back when i have figured all of that out. until then please, make your own posts, spread awareness. be the voice that screams to the world to stop drinking and driving. i cannot do it alone and i do not want the sole purpose behind your awareness to just be miranda. there are hundreds of thousands of victims of drinking and driving and their lives matter too. don’t spread awareness just for my sister, but for your family and friends too so we can protect them from a fate like this. be safe, be smart, drive sober.

a conversation i wish i could have:

hey. this year is going really good for me. we got a place that i really love, we got a new car that’s really nice and when i start driving again maybe you can ride passenger like you always used to do with me, oh and i’m getting married this year. weird right? looks like you won’t have to deal with me crying to you about anymore boys which i’m sure makes you feel better. now you can’t call me a fat w***e anymore, gotta call me a fat wife now lmao. adelynn is so grown up now. she tells me that she misses you, we all do. and guess what?? heather became a teen mom like we always used to say she was going to. a real life debbie haha. also the whole family moved out of leavenworth thank god. i’m assuming you’re out there somewhere living your best life. did you ever save up to get that car you were telling me about? what job did you get? are you and anissa still together? did your hair grow out so you could fix it cause i know the last time we talked you weren’t happy with your haircut. i’m sure it looks a lot better now. everybody is changing and growing up, its not the same. mom and dad don’t drink anymore. they’ve been sober since the accident 4 years ago. you’d like dad now, he’s really fun to be around. mom still talks about you everyday and moment she gets a chance. the rest of us are trying to move on with our lives. stephanie and david bought a house! they live so far away now but they seem really happy. i think most of us are finding ways to be happy again. i finally starting laughing at things again, it took awhile but im finding the joy in life. idk, i know this is a lot to read but i just wanted to give you an update. i miss you miranda, i still have the same phone number so if you ever want to reach out you can find me. i’ll never stop searching for you though.o

5 years ago today..i was sitting at home and realized i missed miranda. instantly i got in my moms car and drove all the way to anissa’s house just so i could see miranda. there was zero reason other than me missing her. it’s a feeling ive felt so many times and i used to be able to act on it by getting in the car and going to her, or messaging her, or calling her, or going upstairs to her room just to stare at her and then walk out. i cannot begin to express how much i would give for a day like this again. missing her and being able to just go see her. now when i miss her i talk to the sky, or send her a message on instagram that every time i find myself checking to see if she’s read it knowing she never will, or worst of all going to the fu***ng cemetery to sit on the grass and talk to the ground hoping she can hear me. it’s just so exhausting coming to terms with the fact that i will never stop missing her and craving her presence only for it to never be satisfied. always searching for her soul hoping she’s somewhere nice and happy. it’s those weirds part of grief where all i can do is fu***ng hope and beg there is an afterlife because please tell me i will get to see her again. to tell her all she missed and how much i really loved her. how special she made me feel when she wanted to hang out with me. idk im rambling at this point and im tired of wiping my eyes so i can see to type so yeah thats all.

i have this idea for what i think could be a really impactful way of spreading awareness on drinking and driving. my issue being i’m so worried i lack the necessary skills to pull it off right. i’m going to try. i came up with this idea months ago but life became busy and now my deadline is even shorter to pull it off. i guess worst case scenario it gets delayed but idk.. im going to really try. i’m just hoping i have the support of you guys when the time comes!! i don’t want it to flop as this idea has kept me up many nights unable to sleep. the burden of a creative mind i guess. coming up with something really good but not having the time to create it! sorry this is just a rant but i have things in the works! i promise my lack of posting isn’t because i don’t care! i’m just conserving my energy for what will be my toughest project yet.

i know i said i was going to try to keep up with posting on here more but i’ve just been at a mental pause recently. nothing has changed, i still miss miranda, i still get triggered by any mention of drinking and driving, i still find myself stumbling through life without her. it’s been a weird thing dealing with grief at such a young age. and no i’m not talking about your “yeah i lost my grandma/grandpa” grief. i’m talking about losing someone i should have NEVER lost at 18 years old. i never once imagined my entire adulthood would be living with grief for the rest of my life. i often wonder what she’d be doing now with her life. would we still be close or have drifted apart? i’m trying to find the normalcy in my life but it’s weird. i think i’ve drifted out of denial and accepted she’s not coming back but i think im stuck in the anger portion of grief. i just try not to think about it too much and then i find myself on nights like these staying up too late going through her social media. then i wonder would she still have those posts up today or have deleted them or archived any? would she still be dating anissa? would she have grown her hair out or kept it short still? would her style have changed at all? her 21st birthday is approaching and it’s just yet another reminder of a major life milestone that she’s missing. it’ll be 5 years since she passed this year and that in itself feels like a lie.

happy new year’s eve!! this was miranda’s last new year’s eve she ever got to celebrate and she celebrated with me. yes we were drinking which is completely ironic, but we did it inside the home without the intention of leaving. her and i drank and celebrated the beginning of the last year she would ever be alive. i am not against drinking, what i am against is making stupid decisions while drinking like deciding to drive. we were all teenagers once who decided “hey let’s drink alcohol cause it’s cool!” a time filled with many dumb decisions but we NEVER thought to leave the house while drunk. even while being stupid we were still smart enough to know that drinking and driving is dangerous. i haven’t really drank since that day other than little sips of stuff here and there. however i am grateful i snuck giving her alcohol, im glad i did all the “grown up” stuff with her when we were teenagers because we both didn’t know she’d never get to do it as an adult. this isn’t a post to spread awareness. this is a post to say i miss my sister and i wish badly her and i could’ve celebrated like this again while legal adults.

Hey guys. Merry Christmas!! This was Miranda’s last Christmas. Of course we had no idea it would be. Make sure you take plenty of pictures. Make memories. Love one another and please DON’T DRINK and DRIVE. Be smart . Be kind and be safe. ❤️🎄🤍

merry christmas eve!!🎄🎁🎅

your reminder again to not drive under the influence of alcohol/drugs!!! everyone deserves to celebrate the holidays with their family and not having yet another reminder of another day spent without someone you love. be sure to cherish these days and hug your loved ones extra tight!! it could all go away in a matter of seconds all because of SOMEONE else’s negligence in not choosing the smart safe route of driving sober!! have fun and please drink responsibly!!

Hey guys. It’s the weekend before Christmas. Many people will be attending Christmas parties. Many will consume alcohol. This means you better make a plan and have a Designated Driver. This doesn’t mean let the person that drank less be the driver. Make sure your driver has not drank any alcohol. Not one shot. Not one drink. Not one glass of wine. The key word is NONE. You could be the reason someone losses a loved one. Are you really able to live with yourself after making a selfish decision? So remember everyone.DON’T DRINK and DRIVE! Let’s all help save lives ❤️

i miss you a lot more during this time of the year. my go to person to do “bad kid s**t” with. mom told me i should make another snowman p***s in honor of you but the truth is i can’t. it was a group effort between us both that i can’t manage on my own. i just miss doing stupid s**t with you. disappointing our parents one day at a time. sometimes i wonder if you were still here if we’d still be close. i’d like to think so.

12/12/2025

Hey guys. I hope you had a great week! We sure did! For the ones that don’t know Miranda had a proclamation given to her for Impaired Driving Prevention Month. This is such a great thing!! Miranda’s story is making big differences in peoples lives! We want to thank Holly Shehorn Pittman again for this amazing thing!! We have to work together to save lives. So remember if you plan on drinking please find another way home. Don’t get behind the wheel of any vehicle. Including boats,motorcycles,scooters and golf carts. It’s simple these days to find alternative ways to get home. So once again please DON’T DRINK and DRIVE. Have a wonderful weekend. We hope to see you guys next week for our weekly posts. ❤️❤️❤️
