Julie

One thing leads to another.....Nick emailing me - and that making me add his chapter - made me think of others I've neglected writing about - and even email Julie here as I missed her birthday in December - and she is a great love chapter!!

Oh Julie - I think it was a Chicago to Atlanta flight (it all comes back now as I recall helping her get to the Atlanta train to get to her next flight) - You'll never guess where she was headed - Off to Florida to meet up with a sweetheart from 10 years ago!!! Yep - she hadn't seen him in 10 years - yet somehow they reconnected and he was flying her down to see him! She was so cute - all nervous and excited!! She looked great! They had chatted I think nightly for a bit now - so what would they have to talk about once they were face to face??? (I'd be nervous to!) Julie really knew in her heart that this was the guy for her - why she ever left in the first place - she could not understand (she had her reasons - silly as they are to look back to now) -

In the ten years - lots has happened in Julie's life - she has 2 kids - no longer with the dad - living at home - in a family nail salon business - has battled a drinking problem - and thoughts of suicide - but as I saw her in the seat beside me - that girl is long gone - Julie is strong - full of hope and just a wonderful person!!!

She emailed me after her trip - and was head over heels in love with this Florida Beau - and he was planning on moving back to Chicago to be with her! (Gotta see where it all stands now!)

Julie is a wonderful symbol of hope - dreams come true! My best to her always!
