Upon waking up this morning I learned that my good friend and first crush ever just passed away suddenly yesterday. I last saw her about a year ago for the first time in several years. I first met her in 4th Grade and I instantly fell in love with this girl and I was smitten through the beginning of High School. She was an amazing girl. Sweet, funny, beautiful, loving. Her 29th birthday would be coming up on June 21st, just the day before my 29th. She had two beautiful children but as far as I know the father wasn't really in her life.

She had conservative but very loving parents.

I remember the first time I called her back in 8th grade after I bumped into her in detention (I hadn't seen her since the 4th grade)- I don't recall how I got her phone number now that I think about it but I was way too smitten and shy to ask for it myself that's for sure. But when I called her house and her father answered he was immediately very skeptical and defensive. Y'see, my voice dropped very early, very suddenly, and very deep so he pulled her daughter over and said "Who the hell is this MAN calling you??!" She had to explain that I was only 14 and just had a deep voice. Little Adam from Mrs. Hard's class in 4th grade...

I loved that girl. Nothing ever came of it but I loved her since the day I first met her.

Goodbye Julie.
