And Last Sunday morning my beautiful friend Jules died in her sleep. It was such a shock to us all. We only saw each other on Friday night. We gave each other a hug and we kissed and said we would catch up soon, but its never going to happen.
She was loved by so many people and so deeply loved by her husband Kim. It will take us all years if ever to recover from losing Julie.
She lived her life full with friends, humor, music, her husband and her three cats.
She has left a big hole in all our lives.
Jules was the only girl ever that could make me sing out loud in public.
It was a large funeral spilling well out into the car park. Her sisters gave a wonderful eulogy that got everybody laughing. Her favorite song ' The Ship' Song' by Nick Cave was played by the band Hey Mook, Richard Flanagan, friends and family re-counted many Jules stories, she would have loved it...maybe not the part about her first crush on John Farnham though.
RIP JulieThe day before the funeral my mum had a minor heart attack and is in hospital, I rang her two nights ago and she is doing well and will be out in a couple of days.
It is such a worry with her being so far away and not able to look after her and her husband. My sister lives 2 hours away and is doing the best she can. Its going to be a tough job convincing our mum to move into a smaller place, perhaps a retirement village where she will be around more people and get the help she needs when we can't be there.
Then to top all this off little Ned our cat has injured his back leg and is off to the vet this afternoon!
Can things get any worse? I'm so happy that I'm off to the knitting group in a few hours and catch up with friends. Tragedies like this make you realize just how important it is to make time to be with those you care about.
To heck with all my UFO's I'm going to start something new today!
