Dear Julia, Ms. Frances told me you saw her and you gave her all your hugs. I do hope you were able to save one for me too.
I am glad the surgery is done. Now is the time to focus your time & energy on healing.
Listen carefully to the instructions of your health team. They all are working together to help you heal safely, not just quickly. Sometimes it will hurt to do your exercises. Tell your parents if this happens. You can cut back on the frequency or number of times you do the exercise, but just for a day or two. Sometimes strength returns slowly.
I also hope you have continued your study and practice with Iconography. I would love to have an original Icon “by the hand of Julia”
May our Blessed Theotokos enfold you & your family in her arms and wrap you with her love, warmth and healing.
I am looking forward to my next hug…
Love,
Ms. Pat

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and with your strong, loving and vigilant parents and family. Julia i am very much impressed with the bond of love,care and concern which exists in your family that teaches how the blessed family should be.

I really miss you Julia; your smile lit up Sunday school.
I remember i would hate to go unless you were

i suppose we never really knew how much we
would until you left. But were all looking forward to see
your safe return.

I love you Julia,

Dear Julia,
You are an incredible being that God has created! You have no idea the impact you have made on every single person that knows you! Even though you are only 14, you have the wisdom, the spirit, the fortitude, the faith of someone much older than you. Make no mistake that the Holy Spirit is in your being working within you to make you better. We are praying that your lungs will soon breath effortlessly and fully (all on your own) and we are praying for the night you get to sleep in your own bed! We are praying for your entire family for strength, peace and limitless faith on this day and forward. Please, Heavenly Father, keep up the great work! Love, Irene, Billy, Maria, Dimitri and Christina Liapis
