Thinking about three truly amazing moments in my life which were in one way--and only one way--the same...Your HERE-I-FINALLY-AM-WORLD!-entrances-into-this-life-moments. Our moments; each of yours, mine, your father's.
Your scent; your one-of-a-kind scent, that was somehow each of yours and yet all of yours--ours. Earthy, spicy, organic, sweet, yet pungent. It was only detectable upon our first meeting...the first time the nurse laid you in my arms. It saturated your skin. It was throughout your hair. It was a delicious smell, yet if I smelled it now, years after the miraculous moment, I would wrinkle my nose and turn away. Somehow it was inviting and welcome on you those first few minutes after your birth. Aly, it was in you, on you, that I first detected it. I couldn't wait to smell you, Jay, to see if you would wear the fragrance as well. It was. You did. Dom, I knew it would envelope you as well, and I savored it.
I have absolutely no idea what brought this memory on...I think it is time to shift from memories of me to memories of you for a while.
Loving you each moment,
~Mama
