This may sound strange, but during times of loss with someone very close, I've always found myself inhaling their clothing, trying to figure out how I might capture their scent. Regrettably, it can't be done. But I feel blessed when precious memories slip up on me when I least expect them, like a fleeting fragrance of someone you love just before they wrap their arms around you. Hold tight to each one of those - they'll last for many years to come.

It was hard watching her go down heal and I was sad that she left earth but I knew that she was going to a much better place. I think of her often and wish she got to meet my youngest son and would have gotten to chance to know my husband. I cherish those memories of her and wish that I too had a blanket or something like that to remind me of my mama.Christy Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730414767785343296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093117644713466332.post-69468082514973364292013-06-18T09:06:47.134-04:002013-06-18T09:06:47.134-04:00Thanks so much for sharing this - so much real emo...Thanks so much for sharing this - so much real emotion conveyed so well.
