my sweet angel

i have yet to write anything about my sweet angel, julia because it has been so hard. she left this earth a little more than 6 months ago and it still doesnt seem real. i cannot put into words how wonderful she was. she was so sweet, so kind, gentle, always gave the most comforting advice. she was breathtaking. i have never seen someone so beautiful. she was my suite mate at the frew for about 3 weeks. she was so quiet and timid but once you got to know her, she was absolutely amazing. i miss her so much and i think about her all the time. i often wonder why her? it wasnt her time to go. she was only 16. she had so much more to give the world. she would have changed the world, one person at a time. and she still has.

lately i have been having signs of jewls around me and it saddens me that she is not with me but yet it is comforting. i have a picture of her hanging on my wall above my desk to remind me of her. if you knew jewls, she was obsessed with elephants. she always drew these cute little elephants on her food journals. so adorable! over the past few weeks i have seen elephants everywhere...

(this little guy reminds me so much of jewls<3)


(and yes, i took a picture of his hiney..looks just like the little ones she would draw)

both of these pictures are from one of my niece's toys. i was playing with her (she is almost one) and all of a sudden she picked up this elephant and started playing with it. i see my niece on a regular basis and have never seen this toy. my eyes welled up with tears. i knew jewls was looking down on me, especially after the week that i have had. i dont know how i could have gotten through so much without her giving me strength and hope. i love you, jewls. to infinity and beyond.

"i noticed how beautiful the sky was the other day and then i realized it's because you’re up there"

have a lovely night by beautiful friends xO*

  1. I always try to explain how wonderful Julia was, and omg, its so hard, because someone as wonderful as she, wll its just so hard to come up with the right adjectives...

    i dont think there are any adjectives in this world that are amazing enough to suit our angel.

    she was eliza's suite mate too, and she always every morning came up to my room and we would chat before breakfast while i would try to tell her all the good that would come out of eating her meals etc..she was so timid and shy, but once you got to know her, she would just open up so much...she was so giving and SO caring, she always knew the right thing to say to make u feel better...she was one in a million, i cant imagine anyone else in this world that could ever be as amazing as she. Breaks my heart into a million peices thinking WHYHY her!!!? :( but she is in a better place i tell myself, it just doesnt seem fair though that the most amazing girls loose their lives to This!!
    i read that her sis Jenna, said "one thing Julia would want, was to help at least one person" and wow, she has helped more people than just one. way moree!!..she has helped me so much. i too see signs of her with lil elephants..i know she is watching over us all..she loved u so much, and its amazing how loved Julia is but so many.
