Kindness, Soap and Memories

"Some memories are unforgettable, remaining ever vivid and heartwarming!"
~ Joseph B. Wirthlin

My grandfather used to buy soaps for my grandmother.  She had sensitive skin and used special soaps -- I can still see them... pink bars individually wrapped in black paper with flowery yellow lettering.  On Saturday afternoons, I would accompany my grandfather on errands and frequently a visit to the pharmacy that carried the soaps was on our list.  Fast forward several decades:  My husband buys me a special brand of soap that I like.  The store where we used to buy the soaps doesn't always have them, so he puts in a special order.  I love the soaps and greatly appreciate his thoughtfulness, which reminds me of my grandparents.
