Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.


Wm. Shakespeare

Julie passed away this morning. To have taken such a sweet and wonderful person from her life, her family, and all that loved her, God must have wanted her very much.

"We're all travelers in this world. From the sweet grass to the packing house. Birth 'til death. We travel between the eternities."
- Prentice Ritter, "Broken Trails"
