Everyone called her Julie.
I discovered her name was Juliana at her funeral today. Weird, huh? I've known her for the better part of five years and didn't know her name was Juliana. She was still my friend.
I remember when...
We'd go to her sister Janine's house and get drunk. We'd get so drunk it was ridiculous. When I say drunk I mean we multiplied it by some sort of a buzz, took the word inebriated and divide it into an astronomical percentage. So we would be somewhere around: [drunk*buzz]+[inebriated/532%] and still you would have to give or take a percentage. LOL! Good times...
Julie and me sang together when we were drunk. You couldn't tell us we didn't sound awesome. Shirley Murdock's As We Lay was our song. She'd sing soprano. I'd sing tenor. We'd sing in harmony. In tune and with a beautiful pace. We complimented each other.

I was at Juliana's funeral today...
Her lifeless body was in a casket
Her casket was white
Her dressed matched her casket
Her casket sat in the front of the sanctuary
The sanctuary bowed at this moment
I cried more than I thought I would
Not because she died
Everyone dies
I know this...
I know Julie's time was expired
God's timing is omnipotent
I'm going to see her again
I know it
I
Cried
For my time on earth is going to be saddened by this question:
Who's going to sing with me?
