Violet perfume

Dear Grandpa, 

Just before you passed away Mom got a bunch of violet scented lotions and body wash (you know, that infamous Spanish baby smell). I guess, since she was taking care of you like a child, she bought everything that smelled like us when we were children. It used to remind me of Nanny because she would drown me in that scent, but now it reminds me of you. So, I searched deep in the collection of bottles under my sink and found the last remaining violet scented perfume. It sits on my nightstand every day because if I ever feel lonely or out of place, I spray a little on my pillow and dream of you. 

Love always,
Your granddaughter
