Lovely. Thank you.

Thanks for the lilac story! My mom loved lilacs and I always think of her whenever I hear a story like this. She lived in the midwest and she grew one next to the rental house we lived in in the early 60s. The house is still there and I am guessing, so is that lilac bush! She moved south as she and dad got retired but she regretted not being able to grow lilacs in Central Texas because it is too hot here. Not enough chill hours. But she still loved the scent of lilacs and searched for lilac cologne! When she passed in her 90s, I found her lilac cologne and just couldn't toss it. It was her and meant her history, her thoughts, her memories. 🪻
