Indeed. My father passed away over fourteen years ago, and I still have my own moments.

When my dad died, the sight of fruit juice for sale in a supermarket was enough to make me cry.

I'm sorry for your loss.
I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed.
One day they're going to ban them.

That description sells her short. The "steel magnolia" broke the taboo on discussing mental health in public, she lead diplomatic delegations (but not to heads of state), she was the first First Lady to have her own office in the East Wing, and she was married to Jimmy Carter for 77 years.
Rest in peace, Mrs. Carter. You earned it.

Only the good die young.
I dreamed of this overnight while I slept.
I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed.
