Five years, Julian.
Time doesn’t heal the loss of someone like you. It just teaches us how to carry it, how to live with the silence you left behind, and the space that nobody else could ever fill.
In the beginning, we were broken. And in that grief, we questioned everything. We asked ourselves if we should keep going… if we could keep going. If continuing without you would feel wrong, as though we were leaving you behind.
One thing became clear with time.
We were never continuing without you.
Simply becasue you never stopped being part of our lives and of this club. You’re in the values that you yourself helped us build this on. You’re in the togetherness. You’re in every time we show up and every time we fight for each other. You’re still here not as a memory, but as a presence that never left us.
Your impact reaches far beyond football. Life is different now. Moments feel more important. People are valued more. The smallest things… a laugh, a conversation, a hug carry more meaning than they ever did before. Tomorrow is never promised, and we learned that in the hardest way through the greatest loss.
So today, five years on, we don’t just mourn you. We carry you. Proudly. Always.
Forever one of us.
Forever a Cuda.
Always our brother.
