Juliette's time is near

Post by barbaranoela »

Juliette has about another week----she is now hallucinating and is having troubles breathing--

Last week Juliette celebrated her birthday --Kristyn came home for the weekend--went over to Juliette's -to celebrate with her--but when Kris arrived and saw all of the family there she knew it was more of a time for them to say their good-byes~~~~

Kris and Juliette had girl time together and talked about all their years -as friends--from toddlers --all their years from kindergarden thru high school---including when they all went to the 8th grade PROM---
I believe that I had posted that way back---about 8th graders having a prom? and they surley did --limos arrived at the school with the girls --all gussied up--and the young gentlemen wearing Tux's --all beaming as they stepped out of the limos----

Jules didnt want to go cus she had lost her hair---but Kristyn -had a hairpiece (and I mean PIECE) which she dyed RED to match Jules gown and there stood Jules--happy as could be at her 8th grade prom--

As the years have rolled by Juliettes cancer has spread to the point where there is nothing more to do---to operate would just give her a wee bit time---but time suffereing and Juliette said NO WAY!!!

Juliette told Kristyn----when she is gone----she doesnt want Kristyn to *mourn* for her---she wants Kristyn to keep living and enjoying life---and always remember the bond that the 2 of them had and will always have--

Can U imagine --hearing this from your very best friend----or hearing this from anyone--that has been so much a part of your life~~she also told Marie (her mom) who she wants--in the room--when she flies away~~
Marie and Sal have one child left and that be Jules brother---

So let all our *wings* gracefully help Juliette to her new home~~~~and help Kristyn to understand *why Juliette?*

Thank U---
Barbara

Barbara,

We all knew that this sad day would arrive, at some point, but it obviously came way too soon. What a sad, and memorable, event. I hope that Kristyn can be as strong, and she can handle this as well as Juliette seems to be dealing with it.

Thanks for the update.

Luve,

Heartbreaking. I lost my best friend right after high school and never had that chance to say goodbye. I'm so glad Kristyn was able to do this, both for herself and for Juliette.


Hugs,

I'm glad that they had that time together while Jules could still have a time like that. I'm sure it will be a precious memory for Kristyn.

I cannot find words, just tears....

But tears are words of love. I have never met Juliette, Kristyn, Marie and all the family. But, Barbara, once again your words have built a bridge. I will pray for Juliette, and her best friend, as Juliette takes wing.

thank U all for letting me pour my heart out of family/friends issues---
appears that I seem to be doing that instead of discussing health issues~~~

I said to Lou----here I am whining about my hair thinning---and here is Jules facing her last days and living them with faith~~~
Kristyn is coming home,this weekend- from college again, to be with Jules---

:bigbighug:
Barbara

again---thank U ANT for the whispy fluttering of wings~~~~~

Morning Barbara,

It is so sad that someone so young is being taken away from this world. My prayers are with her and her family and may the angels lift her up on wings of silver. Kristen was a wonderful friend to her and hopefully she will remember the good time and not the bad. It is so very sad.

Love, Maggie
