It was a happy ending indeed! We have so much to be grateful for. Thank you for being here and being a friend. (Now I'm singing Golden Girls theme song...lol)
Oh Julie! Although I've read the book more than once - and I LOVE IT!!!! - this post today has brought tears to my eyes! Just wonderful. You're an inspiration to so many of us.
Thank you so much Rebecca! And thank you for sharing what you wrote here with us.. I truly appreciate it. You are amazing! :) Thank you for being my friend. xox
Your perseverance is inspiring, and your words have been such an encouragement to me—especially those penned in A Real Ballbuster and My Road. I was just journaling this morning about how particular snippets from your books have helped me. Don’t stop sharing your words with the world!
You made my morning! What a compliment. Thank you so much and I will remember this when the self-doubt creeps in. Thank you for being here with us and sharing today. I look forward to seeing you on the call Sunday! :)
Oh wow. This piece brought back memories of my brother's race and being there to cheer him on, less than a month after my dad passed away. Each runner has a story of their struggle to get to Boston and finish -- two distinct and often harrowing experiences. I teared up reading this wonderful post by @juliebhughes and felt myself ready to lose my voice cheering her, my brother and everyone else all over again. It's an incredible annual event and this captures it beautifully. Bravo!
What an emotional day it must have been for you and your brother. What courage to run even during the circumstances you were both enduring. I imagine your dad with your brother every step of the way and standing with you cheering him on. Hugs to you.
Love this post; it brought tears to my eyes. I can imagine your finish of Boston - I've been at the finish line many times, cheering on my brother. It's a rush, isn't it? The helicopter above the lead runners for men's and women's, the energy surge, the endorphins. Thank you for sharing your story. I've been reading in the "shadows" until this morning and had to comment. "God is with us" indeed.
Hi Mary! I'm so happy to see your note here. Yes, such a rush and I glowed after for months! LOL

In effort that came before
Awareness is key

Represents way more than miles
A blessing for life…
Jules, you have shown that once “you”have done the one “impossible” thing everything becomes possible. The second photo says it ALL. God Bless.
Good morning Clark,
Thank you for another spectacular haiku poem. Many blessing to you and yours.
Just remember Jules that when you conquered Boston, Aunt PHOEBE was not there at the finish line…♥️
Thank you for this! You're absolutely right!
