"Jewels" on a better day with her son Johnny.
A while back, I wrote a post entitled With Love to Juliana.
It wasn't an accidental title.
It was a tribute to a real person,
a real angel,
to somebody who changed my life
...Juliana King.
Juliana and I were brought together by fate via a Lyme FB support group.
I blog.
She blogs.
We both have Chronic Lyme Disease.
We also like the same You Tube Videos, Post Secret posts, quotes, etc.
It truly was a match made in heaven.
On my worst days,
it's Juliana who makes me smile.
On her worst days,
she does the same....
sending notes when she can,
spreading sunlight on my wall,
worrying about my insomnia and pain...
even though she can hardly lift her head.
Although we've only known each other a short time,
her impact has been profound.
She taught me to be positive.
She taught me to be grateful.
She made me appreciate the good days.
She also showed me “It’s not about who you’ve known the longest
…it’s about who came and never left your side.”
Now, the girl who loves and supports so many,
needs our love and support.
I love you, Juliana.
We love you, Juliana.
You can pull through this.
You will pull through this.
As you would say...
Never Give Up...Miracles Happen Every Day!!!!
Can't wait to see you smile again.
XOXOXOX

ALTER EVERYTHING
What do you get when you combine a creative, Type A personality with Chronic Lyme Disease? A choice: A) Be swallowed whole or B) Reinvent yourself--daily. Alter Everything is my quest to respect "A" and embrace "B" as much as possible. Here, I recount my daily adventures in pursuit of an altered life.

As you have become close to I have as well, Only knowing her 2-3 months we share many of the same symptoms. Have had amazing converstation and even had her whoop my tail in words with friends ( which it is still her move ) I am praying for her and her family. I am going to steal your idea and do the same thing with my blog. I want everyone praying for her. Thanks for doing this. She is one AMAZING soul.
