Very Grateful for:

God’s provision of Reunion through memories

our sense of smell

the memories triggered by our sense of smell

finding a light jacket that was my mother’s

even over two years later the scent of Mom’s perfume remains

the memories that float in from the perfume- good memories

pictures in my head of Mom’s feisty sense of style: Georgia O’Keeffe meets sunset rainbow sherbet

grateful for the gift of the idea of wearing this coat and hugging my Dad today so he remembers too

grateful that maybe Mom looks, recognizes her coat and sees me from heaven
