Reclaiming Stuff

by Shane Holden – July 25, 2011

This may bother me more than it should, but it really bothers me how people remember exactly what they gave someone, even the cost, and ask for it back when the person they gave it to is no longer here.  I don’t care if the person may not have liked it, may have loved it, or may not have even remembered receiving it in their passing days.  And I really really hate to hear someone say, “he/she would have wanted her/him/them to have it back.”  I don’t think that type of statement should have any validity, nor any need to be said, because the truth is, you never 100% know that’s what would have been wanted, especially with items that may have been forgotten about.  It’s not even that I want the stuff, it’s just the point of it.  Quite frankly, I find it disrespectful.
