Great story! It's amazing how these scents can open up a world of memories of our loved ones. I've had two special aunts who have passed away and "left their scents behind." I used to always love to visit their homes. It was something about being in that home with them. Let's just say I loved the way they smelled. Well, when they passed away there were no children to share their belongings, but many nieces and nephews. When the homes were opened for us, we all selected items that reminded us of them. Even today as I walk into one of our homes, I smell a familiar scent. A few weeks ago I walked into my daughter's living room and told her, "I think Aunt Maude is here." She pointed to one of her items. It still had the scent of her home. So Darren, thanks for the memories.
