I was wonder if anyone here have the same feelings as me.

When I was a kid, I know there was a certain smell on my parents' bed. It was the smell of the feelings of comfort, security and belongingness. It kinda smell like my dad.

I ask my daughters' the same question... how do they feel when they sleep in my bed? And they said the similar experience as I did.

How did the smell of your parents' bed make you feel when you were a child?

I can recall the smell of fresh linens. But, there were so many familiar scents to say "I'm home", and one of my favorites was Mom making weekend breakfasts. Sometimes for "comfort food", I'll make breakfast for dinner.
And, I can still recall the smell of my grandma's dresser where she kept her makeup and perfumes. And, now, I have my parents' old dresser and every now and then, I can smell the years of potions and makeup and cologne and sachets from 40 years ago. And, (my Mom died 2 years ago today), I kept my Mom's perfumes and just have to take a sniff every now and then. :heart:
