I had been absent for a very long time when I recently felt the need to check out LJ again. It was a very hard "comeback". I had no idea how sick Julia was and it was with a very heavy heart I tried to say goodbye to her.

I feel a huge guilt on one hand to have missed the time we could have had together but I am also very glad I was able to say that farewell, however short it was. I know she would have comforted me and tell me that I have nothing to feel guilty about.

Like so many others I don't remember when we first became friended because it feels like she was always there. I have not read all of her stories and there is much I have only just now learned about her. So no, I didn't know her fully but I felt her warmth, her compassion, her love. She gave the best of advice or comfort when needed. I know who she was as a person. I will miss her greatly.

It's a comfort to know her presence will still be here. ♥
