The fragments of a family broken by grief, confusion and helplessness will come together today to mark one year since Julian Varley disappeared.
They will let off lanterns and share memories, and have difficult conversations
about how everyone is holding up.
As the anniversary drew close this week, Varley's mum and best friend spoke to the Bay of Plenty Times Weekend, sharing publicly for the first time their fears he will not come home alive.
In the last known sightings of the Tauranga 31-year-old, he was wearing a tie-dye T-shirt and shorts.
