My very strong, positive, thoughtful, beautiful Auntie Julia passed away on Tuesday.

I've been struggling with whether to post something on the blog or not, not wanting to upset my family, not wanting to write cliches. But I don't want to ignore this time and just end up posting as if nothing happened a week from now.

Uncle John, Erica, Michael, Granny, Mum, Roger, and above all, Auntie Jules - you are all a constant in my mind. I can't be with you right now, so I'm doing the best I can here to cuddle with my babies, make them smile and giggle and hope that those positive vibes Julia and I talked about are getting to you now.

Much, much love.
