I have been thinking a lot about my grandma lately. It will be 8 years this November since she passed. Her death was very sudden. She and I were attending this Halloween festival in her town and 2 kids were running and bumped into her. She fell to the ground and broke her hip. I was standing right next to her and watched her fall. She was taken to the hospital where she had surgery 2 days later. Hours after her surgery she had a blood clot causing her heart to stop and was then placed in the ICU where she died on November 2, 2010. She was 75. Just days before, she attended my sister's band concert, was picking my sister and I up from school, and was over at our house. It was so surreal to me. I was devastated because I could not comprehend it. After my dad had told me she had passed, I was sitting in the same chair she was sitting in at my house just 5 days before and thought how could this be. It's not like she had a terminal illness. She was active and driving just days before her death. I still miss her and wish that she didn't have to go like that. I also miss her house because she lived in the same house for 50 years where my dad and all of my uncles grew up. I also had a lot of great memories in that house.
Is her house still in the family? If so, ask if you could replace the doorknob on the most-used door. When my mother died in January 2018, I claimed the back-door knob. My siblings thought I was crazy until I told them that, every person in our lives (family, relatives, friends, partners, spouses, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and neighbors) walked through that door, and touched that door-knob). It wouldn't be the Mona Lisa, but it would a really cool item to help you remember you grandmother and all the people in her life.
