She says that she “could not imagine being this old and without him, it is not the same. It’s not quite as wonderful.” Julia runs and gardens to keep herself busy. She tells of the touching story of her husband passing away in his sleep after he sang love songs to her.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross,scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-2
