“When she passed, we couldn’t bring her presents home knowing she wouldn’t be there to open them so we gave her presents to her best friend, who was also in the hospital at the time.”
Then, several of her family members questioned her about what she had done with her daughter’s presents, so she told them the truth.
She told her loved ones it hurt her too much to bring her daughter’s presents home, so she and her husband gifted them to her best friend.
Well, none of the family members understood where she was coming from, and they were not happy she gave her daughter’s presents away.
Her family members thought it would have been a better idea for her to give her daughter’s presents to her 8-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son.
“I tried to explain that it was too hard for us to bring them home when she won’t open them then watch her siblings open her gifts but they didn’t believe me,” she continued.
“The gifts were expensive (my parents got her an iPad and my MIL and FIL got her a Nintendo switch and games and her aunts and uncles got her hair dye, expensive makeup, and nail art supplies) and I can see why they’re upset…”
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“You were trying to do something generous for someone your daughter was close with, I’m amazed anyone would have asked about the gifts at all.”
“They probably thought the Nintendo switch would be shared with the kids. And an iPad is a very expensive gift to give away.”
