I really thing you should go over and take one last look and if you have a good relationship with your Grandfather I don't think it would do any harm to ask for something.

When my favourite Auntie moved into a care home I did just that. I came away with some antique dishes that I treasure to this day. I remember she had this amazing clock that would chime on the hour and half-hour. I don't know where it is now but I really wanted that clock. I think one of my cousins has it, and so it should be.

I also think it's a good idea to talk to your Grandmother while you are there. I'm sure she will understand and be pleased that he's moving on. I guess I see this as a "closure" thing.

Hugs to you. I've been there.
