happybirthdayvlad

today is vlad's birthday. i took this picture for his senior pictures. hard to believe that was five years ago. sometimes i wonder how long it will be before i ever stop asking why he did it. or the even harder question, if i or anyone else could have prevented him from doing it. suicide is despairingly ugly in a million ways. i am a believer, but this i will never understand. it makes the rest of life seem so trivial. some days i miss him a little, some days i miss him a whole lot. today is definitely the latter. happy birthday vladimir emery. we love you and miss you.
