“I love Julius, and I don’t say it just to say it. Like, I love that man and how he handles me. When I’m flying off the handle, he reels me back in. When I’m missing Billy, he holds me without saying a word. He doesn’t try to sympathize like he knows what it's like to lose a child. Instead, he allows me to fall apart, and when I’m finished, he puts me back together. Julius is rough around the edges, but with me…” She smiled at the thought of him. “He’s soft as cotton.”
