The smell that takes my breath away

Today as I was sitting in my favorite chair enjoying the warm sun streaming through my windows, I smelled my Grandpa Marion. It's a smell that I haven't smelled for twenty six years but I would know it anywhere. It came completely out of the blue and it took my breath away. How I miss him. I miss sitting next to him in his chair by the stove with him drinking his coffee out of his yellow mug and me eating roll after roll of Certs from his pocket.


Bumpy's chair


I miss everything about him.

I want to believe with all my heart that he was with me today.Even if it was for a small moment, I hope he was sitting next to me.

    I have the same thing happen to me at times. I can smell Don out of the blue and it takes me back to when I was a little girl playing at his house. I am sure your Grandpa was with you! Justin thinks I am crazy when I say I smell him, but I can't get enough of it. Hopefully it happens more often!
