It is astonishing to me that you can conjure up memories with scent and yours are truly beautiful. You made me bawl my head off and I was relieved that my daughters were in school so no curious little eyes could question me on why you moved me so.

My mind goes back several decades but my body obviously stays firmly in the present, so it can be distracting, and it plays tricks with my mind in other ways.
