Hello Michelle,

 

Where do I find the photo album?

 

I wanted to share a kind of unnatural phenomenon with you as well. My

grandmother recently past away a few months ago. I went out to buy a new black

sweater to wear to the funeral (I didn't own any black). I wore the sweater with

out washing it. It smelled like the store. When I got home I put the sweater in

the laundry for it to be washed. So when laundry day came I washed all the

clothes and noticed when I was putting them away a strong smell of my

grandmothers old house was coming from the sweater. She lived there when I was

very small and I still remember the way it smelled. It was her smell. She still

smelled this way when she lived at other places. Now of course my mind will

say... well it has to be something with the fabric of the clothes or the

detergent etc. Trying and trying to rationalize it. But the more I tried to

rationalize the more it became a mystery. I washed the smell with different

detergent etc. And ALL the other clothes did NOT smell this way and they were

washed WITH the sweater, so why the heck not!! The only way that ANOTHER

article of clothing would smell like it, is if it was directly hung up in the

closet against it, but that smell would later in the same day even dissipate. I

have washed and washed and sprayed perfume galore on it!! It STILL smells like

her. My mind asks questions like why does THIS piece of clothing smell like her,

the sweater I wore to her FUNERAL! Coincidence? I seriously started trying to

rationalize that it WAS a coincidence, but later dropped that theory when I

couldn't deny it any longer. Its very strange but very comforting at the same

time. Most of my friends can not smell the "different" smell....HER smell. But

one of them did. She said it had a distinct "not clean laundry" smell, but that

it didn't smell bad. It just smelled like something.... different. I grinned.

And then after a million washings and analyzing. I came to terms and accepted

the fact that this sweater will ALWAYS smell like my

grandmother and it still does. True story!

That is a fascinating story, I have had something similar happen before and

tried to rationalize it too. So many things are beyond our understanding, and

it is so humbling. You can see the photos under "Photos" on the left hand

side here on the message board. Click show all and you will see them toward
