My grandmother supposedly died in 2017. Except she didn't.
One of her favorite restaurants was Piazza Roma on route 6 in Mohegan Lake. She loved when we went there.
She wasn't happy when my aunt and uncle moved out of town in 2016 and were not up front with her about their intentions. She was also not happy when my sister got married in 2017 and had the wedding out of town, with Grandma too frail to travel.
So it's pretty clear what happened. Grandma didn't die. She faked her own death and has been hiding at Roma's ever since. She's 101 years old now and as far as I'm concerned she's still there.
A couple of months ago my father died at age 81 with mid to late stage Alzheimer's disease. It is also very clear that, because of the Alzheimer's, he forgot that he was dead and went to go hang out with Grandma at the restaurant.
I'd like to go visit them both, but the restaurant isn't there anymore.
