Windsong perfume always brings back the memory of my mom. Lilac and peony scents bring back my grandparent's home in Garrison, NY where we would get bunches of lilacs and peonies and bring them into our teachers on Monday mornings (we always had Sunday dinner with my grandparents).
Cigar smoke brings back both my grandfathers to me. When we moved to Phoenix, AZ in 1969 my brother, Joe was 3 years old. Someone where my Dad worked had a baby and the proud Dad passed out cigars. My Dad was sitting in the living room smoking that cigar and my brother, Joe, came out from his bedroom and said, "Is Nonno (my Dad's father) here?" My mother lost it and cried her eyes out. My folks were totally on their own with no family other than the six of us in Phoenix. It was a great place to live but I think at that moment my folks were probably second guessing their decision to move so far from the rest of our family.
