2 days agoI asked 20 people over 70 what they miss most about their parents and not one of them said advice, wisdom, or guidance - every single one described a physical sensation: the weight of a hand on their shoulder, the sound of a specific laugh, the smell of a coat, a kitchen, a car - and most of them hadn't felt it in thirty years but could describe it in four seconds - Silicon Canals
Physical sensations and sensory memories—touch, smell, sound—outlast wisdom and advice as the most enduring and meaningful memories of deceased loved ones.
