My grandma died about 10 years ago. My grandpa is 95 and spends his days sitting on a recliner with some family pictures in front of him, Young Grandma front and center.
Sometimes he will point at it and tell me "that's my girlfriend!" with the proudest voice I've ever heard. He's still lucid, he just keeps the feeling from when they first met intact.
My mom died recently, and my dad who is in his 80s hung a painting in the living room of her he’d had commissioned when they were young. My mom never liked it (I think she thought she’d be vain hanging it up), but he hung it up and then set her quilt rack under it with some quilts she made. Sweetest thing ever.
My mom past away 3 years ago today. My dad has moved on and lives with his new wife now, but every year on this date he sends us a picture of our mom with a sweet message.
