[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, the more you cry "it's not fair!" the more you sound like a four-year-old who wants to stay up late eating candy.

It's stuff, OP. Let it go. If you really want to remember grandma, go visit her and make some memories instead of crafting passive-aggressive emails to your relatives trying to make them ship some of her crap to you.

Greed is the theme here, and you're neck-deep in it.[/quote]

Of all the things you've mentioned, the only one that even seems worth asking for is the bookshelf from your father's room, and that's also the one you have the best (but still not inviolable) claim on.

So send the e-mail, and explain: "I don't want to ruin relationships by fighting about things, but I would really love to have is the bookshelf that was Dad's when he was growing up. It's a connection to Grandma and Dad -- before he was a dad -- and it would mean a lot to me if you could see your way clear to passing it on to his daughter."

Anything else you can get on eBay.[/quote]
