Thank you for sharing your lovely memories. Being a widow myself, I understand the comfort found in litttle things left behind.

For someone who lost her back woods companion to cancer at too young an age, your story touched me deeply. How beautiful that you have that yellow tube still. Tears well up. Thanks for sharing.

I loved this, and feel lucky to now know a little piece of Steve and your love for him through these wonderful details. The orange tube in your closet is relatable, too; when I need to feel close to who I've lost, smell is the most powerful tool, and one that I indulge in privately, as if in the back of a closet.
