EPILOGUE.When Juliana came out of hibernation a few summers back, our family had the good fortune to host her for ten days. With a guest room, unlimited internet access, and an understanding wife, we welcomed Juliana into our home to let her know that we understood the risks she was taking and to show our support for her. Though intensely shy, she accepted our offer and arrived on a weekday afternoon. During those ten days, our family was provided a glimpse into the life of one of the most private persons I have ever met. And we respected this without reservation. Since our crew is quite boisterous, it was sometimes awkward and sometimes welcoming to have her around. But it was always a privilege to get to know Juliana just a little bit better than I knew her before. As a sign of her appreciation, Juliana gave our family this quilt she sewed by hand during the Winter of 1998-1999. It was unexpected and unneeded, but it is a treasure that we hold with great value in our home. Thanks Juliana. Your gift and your example have taught us lessons that words could never convey. |
