She loves me and my brother (and even my cousins) unconditionally, and she adores and is obsessed with her grandchildren. She’s bold, she’s beautiful, she’s all heart and soul, and I love her so so much!
My mom use to have this really expensive perfume when I was a kid. I would always splash some on myself, so that I could pretend I was her, and eventually I used it all up. The perfume was eventually discontinued, and my mom went on a journey looking for something that was similar.
Of course there was nothing similar, and nothing that could replace her favorite scent. I always felt bad for using up her last bottle. When I grew up, I continued her long abandoned search for her signature scent.
After many years, I found an old perfume shop in the city, and they had a bottle!! It looked so old, and it was covered in dust. I spoke with the store owner about it, and he was so surprised I even knew what it was. He wasn’t able to sell me the remainder of the bottle, but he did pour out a generous sample of it for me to bring home to my mom. I honestly can’t even describe what the scent is anymore, but if I ever smelled it again, I would know instantly, and I know exactly what I would see while breathing it in - my mom’s warm smile 😊
