This makes me sad

My grandma has been cleaning out her stuff lately.  Mostly it is just "junk" that she can't seem to throw in a trash can herself, and other times it is important stuff.

Well I got a card in the mail today and it was full of pictures of me, DH, DS that she doesn't need.  Why she feels the need to send them back to me I don't know.  Why also she feels the need to "trim" them up so they fit nicely into a card irks me even more.  I mean she sent me pro pics of DS that we gave her as gifts and our past Christmas cards.  She even sent pics from her bday party that I printed out for her.  For Christmas I gave her a big 8x10 of the whole family which we've never had done of us before.

I get it that she is just old and trying to declutter, but it makes me sad she sends these things back and that she is getting ready for.....the next stage.

Re: This makes me sad

  • My DH's grandma did something similar, she gifted my DH's senior pictures to Jake for my shower (I think it was my shower anyways) with no note or anything. It was kind of strange and DH was a little taken aback by it. It's hard to know exactly what they are thinking when they do stuff like that.
  • I'd be sad too, so that's totally understandable.

    Ditto.    ((hugs))

  • Well, that is just crappy!  For pete's sake, my mom IS dying and while she is passing out jewelry and old pics of us (as in baby pics) and grade cards, she is not giving back current photos.  That would really upset me if she did that.
