I tucked her into bed. I went to kiss her.
“Mom, I love the way you smell.”
Be still my beating heart. Be still.
When I posted this sweet little happening on the Twitter, my friend, @kristenfountain2 said she “loved the way (her) mom smelled when (she) was little.”
“I can still imagine it,” she recalled.
It’s amazing how smells bring back memories of people or places. The smell of Oil of Olay makes me think of my mom. Ivory soap? Big Mama. I can’t smell car grease without thinking of my Grandfather.
Oh, and a brand new box of Crayola Crayons? First day of school. Any first day in elementary school.
These familiar smells can unleash a flood of memories.
What smells bring back memories for you?
