3 years anniversary of my grandma's death

3 years ago today, my grandma on my mom's side passed away suddenly. Thankfully, I was here for a job assignment in Tokyo that I was able to attend the funeral (none of my other sisters were able to do so). The memory of this beautiful face of her and loads of Casa Blanca lilies placed carefully around her face on her coffin and how I told her how much I loved her and kissed her on her cheek came back to me as I attended her Buddhist sermon at the temple. Very strangely, this same energy that I felt at her funeral 3 years ago surrounded me when the monk started reciting a sutra. I felt very emotional and was about to cry. I felt as if my grandma was somewhere around us. I prayed for her peaceful after-life and promised her to live a fulfilling life myself. After the sermon, the monk commented on our frequent visits to the temple to see the grandma's ashes and told us how impressed he was. He proceeded and told us that although making a frequent visit to the temple help the deceased one to attain the buddhahood (buddhist belief), living a fulfilling life when not visiting the temple is much ideal, so he encouraged us to treat our life preciously and try our best to fulfill it. After that, we all came back to my parent's restaurant where we were to have a lunch together cherishing the memories of my grandma. I, of course, helped my parents for preparing the meals until we deliver all the dishes, then sit with the guests and enjoyed the meal. It was great get together we had, and hope that all of us continue to live much fulfilling lives.
