I started regularly reading aloud to Tom in the evening after his heart surgery in 2004. I mean, books rather than the usual (for as long as we've been together) good lines or interesting bits from what I'm reading. (You know, those things you just HAVE to read aloud even if there's only a cat in the room...)

That was a long time before his vision started going south. Reading aloud was a way, too, of reading the same book at the same time -- such as the Harry Potters as they came out.
