I wore Max's scarf all day today. He loved wearing his scarf in winter. Even as the day warmed up I couldn't take it off. I could smell his aftershave, I could smell him. He was so close yet so far. I miss him so much.
Smell is something we often take little notice of, yet it's so powerful. I can't remember my (late) grandmother growing oregano in her garden, but years later, every time I smell fresh oregano it's like I'm with her, digging in the soil around the front of her old house.
I hope, in time, these sorts of things become a comforting reminder. Right now, they must still be pretty raw.
I'm glad you have the scarf- smell is so important....I like the new blog it feels like the next chapter and part of your journey and yet still holding tight to the threesome that will always be x
I can only imagine how sad and yet comforting it was to have him with you. I know that smell is something that attracts me to people...that when I down and sad, I cuddle into Mr Kir and just breathe him in. I am glad that you have pieces of him that you can breathe in when it's hard to not have him to touch.

That’s nice Vee! At least you can still be close to him that way……….
I remember him wearing his scarf in the Blue Mountains.
Hugs to you.

Thinking of you and so very sorry for the loss of your dear Max.
