It is always hard to do that..I rember cleaning out my nana's apartment..I didn't want to go but I had to I had to be under supervision because of the medicen I was on.

You still have Vlad..he lives in your heart in the love you had for him and the love he had for you. He may not be there physcially but he is there in spirit and in memory. Keep little things like that..make a memory box so that way when you need to you can pull it out and look at it all.
I kept all the birthday cards my grandmother got for me..and little figurens from her apartment that I knew ment alot to her..it helps to have those things..it brings a little comfort.
