Missing my sister who died 10 years ago today by suicide. In this photo she is with our cousin, who died too young at 40, a victim of violent crime. He was her godfather. I like to remember them in happier times. #SuicidePrevention.

Black and white photo shows a toddler girl dressed in sweater and pants, my sister, being hugged by a young man, who was both her cousin and godfather. They are in front of my uncle's grocery store circa 1960. You can see part of a baby carriage and a gumball machine. Both died too young. My father, long dead, had taken the photo, way back when.
