Sometimes Happy Pictures Make Me Cry
Going through my Flickr photos from last year and came across this awesome shot of me and my little sister from her wedding. Isn’t she beautiful? We look happy huh? You would never know that I used to beat her up and steal her candy. Not recently. More like when we were little. As you can see, we’re over that phase.
One person is missing from this photo though. My older sister Susie. It sucks. She lost a 2 year battle with depression and took her own life in 2004 – a month after her own wedding. These are the conflicted feelings one goes through when they lose a sister to suicide. Always someone missing from the picture no matter how happy the occassion. Can’t help it. Sometimes happy pictures make me cry. :(
