The smell of memory

Recently the weather is so cold. Come on it is May already..but it is always raining and grey sky. It is so difficult to have good mood.
Today, I went to school. The school was so empty and so quiet. I think during this long vocation, many people went for their vocation. Same, my heart is also in vocation already. However, I still need to work and do my business plan. Poor me!
My partner-Severine and I were talking within our lunch about the cooking. She shared with me about her memories of her grandmom’s cooking. She mentioned when she was very young, she stayed with her grandmom all the time. And her grandmom is such a good cook. And one day, she went back to visit her grandmom. When sha passed through the corridor, suddenly the smell of strawberry jam came to her and remind her about her grandmom so much!
For severine, I know she is also a good cook also. She said it is so important to smell before you eat. It is such a joyful and memory time.
For me I remembered my mom’s cook too. It reminded me the memory of my childhood. But afterward, my mom became so busy and no time to really cook for us. It was such a pitty!!!
I think one day I will be a mom too. I do not know what I can bring to a child. But for sure, many children remember the cook of their mom than how success of their mom at work! Isn’t it?
