After my mother passed, I put a few of her favorite scarves in an airtight bag. Later I opened it and cried happily when her smell, perfume, and essence remained to soothe my grief. I still have them.
This month has been a difficult month as many losses occurred in the month of May. Death anniversaries of many dear ones, birthdays of friends no longer with me, death of my niece and the death of the last surviving member of my mother's family on Mother's Day. Too much to bear for me. Nice memories but also painful ones. Manuel, thank you for sharing!
This is particularly timely for me, Manuel, as my beloved sister-in-law died yesterday. My family is very close and we feel her loss. I texted with my brother (in Hawaii) and his sons yesterday - and we talked about the 40 + years of memories that will hold them up. Thanks for your words.

Thanks for sharing, Diane. We humans are mostly alike when we unmask. 🙏🏻
Same for me. The scent is Old Spice. The music is Bill Evans, Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby.
I remember those as well, Lorraine. Thanks for sharing them.
A beautiful post, Manuel. It cracked open a time of my life when my musical journey included this one. https://youtu.be/UJJKDzqVpvE?list=PL7gp579CMkT8Bx7wrlczLUZ-AZApsyFUk
A beautiful album, Bill. Timeless…Thanks for your comment.
Sweet grief ... may we always cherish the sweet inside the loss.
Thanks for your comment and support, Karen.
