One of the weirdest things for me was when my dad had his last (fatal) heart attack. By the time I got to the hospital, he had already died. At one point I wanted to be alone with him to say goodbye and when I leaned down to give him a final hug, I could smell his cologne. He only ever wore one. I remember just lying there, breathing in his scent, knowing it would be the last time. I have never smelled it again, but if I do, I'll probably burst into tears just from the memory.
