Today is a sad day for me, Robbin, one of my school pals died. We talked recently about getting together at her place in Florida, one should never wait till tomorrow to do what you can today. Sometimes tomorrow never comes. Her and two of my other classmates surprised me in 2012 with a visit on my birthday. All of our birthdays were in February so it was like one big party for all of us. We had so much fun, giggling like school girls again and gossiping about all that had gone on in high school. Troy enjoyed having them all stay at the house. It was like a slumber party from the past. I’ll treasure those memories of our fun together and regret that we didn’t get together again. I’ll be thinking of her husband Dan and understanding the grief that at times will consume him. I hope he takes it one day at a time, baby steps. Grief will always be a part of his life but I pray he finds his way. Godspeed, Robbin!
Hi Jane, this is Blake, Robbin’s son. Thank you for the kind words about my mom. I know she cherished your friendship and talked about that trip to Texas all the time. As difficult as the last few years of her life was she made the most of it and never forgot who she was and the ones she loved. I read this to my dad as well and he was very appreciative of the advice and is working to just make sure her memory lives on. Thank you again and feel free to reach out!
