It's supposed to smell like Cantaloupe. The MORE like Cantaloupe, the better. If it doesn't smell like Cantaloupe, put it back, you are in the sports section and have picked up a softball. Sometimes, shopping together means each of you can be a part, and not apart. There have been times in the past, when Donna was recovering from surgery or just generally not feeling well, and in striving to make sure she was completely comfortable, I would dash off to take care of things and leave her behind to rest. Every once in a while, though, she would put her foot down and say she was going, only to wear out. I would chide her that I TOLD her she should have stayed home, and her reply was always,"I want to be with YOU!" This little exchange often reminded me that HELPING someone doesn't necessarily mean doing everything for them, but with them. Good article, Jason! Tom Cantaloupe.
