Lost in time
When my grandmother died, I was naturally devastated. It was the first death of a close relative that I had dealt with.
On the day that I was to move into her house that I had inherited, I walked around the little space heartbroken because she wasn’t there. Not only that, but it did not smell right without her jam cooking in the kitchen. I will always be left wondering why I had never learned to make it because now was a memory that I could never recreate.
One of those things destined to be forever lost in time.
A poignant regret as the character grieves. That’s a great detail to show loss — the lack of a familiar and sweet scent.

That was poignant, and sweet. I guess it’s good in a way that she didn’t learn the recipe, will make the grandmother’s memories that much stronger.
