was So today I wanted to take the time to remember the life of one of my best friends, Julia.
Julia was the first friend I made when I was new to the endo world. We met online through a facebook support group and met in person that year at the first Toronto EndoMarch, and we continued to meet up in person throughout the years.
We spent 5 years talking to each other every single day. We saw each other through love, heartbreak, surgeries and even a baby. She was the first person I went to with all new news, worries and life choices. And she was the one person who could always make me see the light at the end of the tunnel when I was down and out.
To be honest I am finding it super hard to write about her.. I've been trying to write this post for 6 months now..
I can honestly say the morning I woke up to the news that she was gone was the worst day of my life. Just knowing a simple check of medication interactions could have prevented this broke my heart all over again.
The first time Julia and I hung out just the two of us, I had stopped at the dollar store before picking her up and found these small spoons made of chocolate. I bought them because Julia and I had just been talking about spoon theory just the night before. These spoons kind of became our thing, and we would buy them for each other every time we got together. I even had a pack of them in my fridge the day I found out she passed. So in her memory I had a small simple spoon added to my endowarrior tattoo.
Julia was truly was got me through my diagnoses and all the challenges that has come with it, And I will miss her every single day of my life.
