The uninhibited voice that blurts out inner thoughts is such fertile ground for comedy and drama. Much more to come from this story, I'm sure.

Keep going!
Merry Christmas...

Beautifully paced.
It takes patience to keep going for so long and maintain a high standard.
The searching online for answers certainly resonates with me. It's funny how quickly you go from thinking that it's only you that's ever...

That's an emotive piece written with such compassion.
I didn't know Julia but can touch and feel how special she was through your words.
