Lee’s Cologne
by adustyframe ~ December 21st, 2007Today, I was wiping out the medicine cabinet above the bathroom sink.
A certain little boy has managed to get toothpaste all over the bottom shelf.
As I wiped the shelves, I moved Lee’s bottle of cologne. I took of the cap and inhaled deeply. Mmm…his cologne is SO nice.
Then the tears came. I miss him so much.
I miss seeing him dressed in real clothes. I miss seeing him looking–and smelling–like my husband.
Next time I wipe out the cabinet, I think I should leave the cap on.

while going thru the divorce, missing his smell was something i grieved. haven’t thought of that in a long time. now i wonder what my new husband will smell like someday
See, I didn’t know that this was hard for others! I’m glad I shared it. Hopefully when God brings you another husband, he smells yummy!

I am so encouraged reading your blog. Your strength truly comes from God. My husband is currently deployed to Iraq for one year, so I can relate on not having your mate close by. The other day I came across a bottle of his cologne and I made the mistake of putting it by my bedside. My heart ached just wanting him close by. God has brought me peace and I see him doing the same for you. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” God bless you, dear sister in Christ.
Thank you, Sarah. It’s nice to hear from others that understand.
Please accept our thanks to your husband for serving.

For the longest time after my husband was taken away, I would get out his shirts and bury my face in them. Smell is such a trigger…
I think if I had something of his that still smelled of him, I would probably sneak a sniff now and again.
HUGS!
