Coco Chanel

Memories are sparked by all kinds of things. A scent, a location, a song, a feeling of a certain fabric or a picture. 

Most of the time we have these things to look back on for both good memories and the bad. A lot of times its music for me or a scent. 

My mother wears a specific perfume and my kids know her by her scent. They can know she's here without even seeing her because if it. 

What do we do when we have nothing tangible to rely on for our memories? Frankly, just our perceptions of what happened. This is precisely why I try and leave a mark on all I love whether it be a special gift, a photo, a special outing or an unforgettable story. One where they clearly know I love them. 

I try and make sure all I love hear me say it and can feel it by what I leave behind/ I never want them wondering or forgetting our special time together.

Memories fade, perceptions vary. So, beloveds, be clear! Tell people you love them. Create lasting memories, and leave behind your legacy.

I guess my signature  is ylang ylang oil or coco Chanel mademoiselle. I hope when you smell these you remember how important you are to me; but I desperately hope you have more than that to remember me by:)
