Julie

I first met Julie in November 2002 at a dance. The theme of the dance was ‘Fall in Love’ and that is exactly what I did. We married a year later.
Julie was healthy when I met her and showed no symptoms of any disease. But soon after, I started noticing changes in Julie. Her speech and gait were becoming impaired. Julie was recommended to see a neurologist who suspected she might have MS; however, after a specialist’s diagnosis, it was confirmed Julie had Leukodystrophy. Julie’s health declined very rapidly-she stopped talking, had difficulty swallowing, and stopped walking. Julie had a heart of gold and was a wonderful person. Julie died in 2010.
