My dad carries a pen around in his shirt pocket all the time, and one day I found one on the couch that he'd left here (I'm sure Sweet'ums was the real culprit). I keep it in my nightstand drawer because somehow the little rubber grip on it absorbed his smell. I feel silly for it but hey, it made me happy when I found it. My husband wears the same cologne as my dad and it's a two-fold comfort.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04845799481303388859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134254466445610818.post-55098779337150222512010-11-18T12:04:43.964-05:002010-11-18T12:04:43.964-05:00Absolutely - scent is a powerful trigger.

I immediately recalled my grandmother, who used to wear that perfume every day. It was like Nana herself was standing right next to me in that parking lot. My eyes immediately welled -- it was that powerful.Michelle DeRushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658349105535790020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134254466445610818.post-4253463607085789222010-11-18T10:29:51.165-05:002010-11-18T10:29:51.165-05:00I agree..When I travel I take a shirt that belongs...I agree..When I travel I take a shirt that belongs to my husband.
