I have a bottle of my late-grandmother's signature perfume, "Caesars Woman" (yes, the one from Las Vegas,) in my bra drawer. I like to pull it out every once in awhile and breathe in her love.
I can so relate to this story! I kept my grandma Robicheaux’s powder puff and box, I think it's in our storage. I believe one of her watches was also inside. We weren't as close as you were to yours, but I wanted something to remember her by. Great story!
This is very touching. I love—and also feel sadness about—the way the author is pushed toward marriage while also being warned to hide money from any husband. Isn’t that the truth. 💔
Thankfully other adults in my life pushed me towards education and a career <3 and if anything it made me sad that my grandmother never had the same options that I had.

What an amazing name for a perfume!
It suited her so well. ♥
They get to live for a while longer through all of us.
What a beautiful powerful, essay. I had a very similar powder box as a child. I'm not sure where I got it, probably my mother's or grandmother's.
I'm curious if yours had a circular mesh screen under the puff like mine did?
Thanks for reviving a very old memory.

Thank you so much for sharing this! It really is a great having something tangible from people that we miss and think of sometimes.
