A year ago today, Robbie and I took our last trip to a bookstore together. He was so weak that we only stayed for a few minutes. You can tell by his picture that he isn’t feeling well.

We both love to read and we used to enjoy going to book stores together. They are quiet, which we both liked and have books..a great combo. Barnes and Noble was our favorite, but the closet bookstore in Katy is Books a Million. We visited the Barnes and Noble by MD Anderson frequently.

Having a break between our trip and going back to work gives me some free time, which is wonderful, but it also gives me time to think about how much my heart hurts and misses Robbie. I hate to start a new year without him.
