Witch Hazel
My grandmother and grandfather were married close to Halloween. Grampa called my grandmother his little pumpkin. 🎃 She was a flapper 👠and a model. What I remember best is when I took sick she had all these marvelous remedies to help stimulate healing. She taught me how to use Vicks vapor rub in a humidifier and with a warm cloth on my chest to help me breathe at night. 🌜She taught my mother how to use steam which saved me when I had croup. The one thing I remember is how she broke my fever. She would come in and talk to me as she wiped me down with witch hazel. She saved me in many ways and I called her Witch Hazel which made her laugh. I associated her with the crisp tartness of the clear liquid and I found them both magical.🌌🕊🌌🕊🌌🕊🌌🕊
