I'm sure you have some WONDERFUL memories at your Grandpa's house! That's something no one will EVER take away! Take one last tour of the place, take pictures and make an album. This way, whenever you get melancholy, you have something to look at and make you smile!

When I lived in CT, I lived in an apartment right around the corner from my childhood home. There was a fire in it when I was 18 and had been done over again. I'd go walking by it every night. One night, the owner was out front working on her garden. I walked up to her and told her how I grew up in the house and how different it looked from the outside. She asked me if I'd like to see the inside and I was elated!!!

Much to my surprize, it was SO different! They had a gourmet kitchen. The small dining room was gutted and so was my bedroom, to make a dining area with a sliding glass window that went out into the deck and above-ground pool. My parent's bedroom was turned into a family room, and the upstairs, which was my brother's bedroom was completely gutted and made into separate bedrooms!

It's something I will never forget!
