A strawberry yoohoo and a butter biscuit


A strawberry Yoo-Hoo and a butter biscuit

There are places that I just flat out avoid going to because of the memories attached to them.  The local gas station, Grands, has been one of those places.   I have only been in the store a couple times since Will passed away.   

Grands is not just a gas station, it is also one of the very few places in the area that serves breakfast.  Will loved this place.  He and his Mom would stop there frequently before school and I would take him there on weekends.  It was always the same routine.  Will would count out just enough money to buy a strawberry Yoo-hoo and a butter biscuit.   This was a "Will thing" because he did not want his Mom or to go in the store with him if we didn't have to.  We would watch him from the car and he would be in there acting cool and always beaming from ear to ear.   When he would get back in the car he would chow down.  

I miss those days.
