Nostalgia is a tricky feeling. It's bittersweet, both melancholic and revitalizing. For this woman, her souvenir-memory shelf served as a reminder of a past life, one she has left behind to pursue other pastures. She even has them on display so they are a constant reminder of who she is, who she was, where she comes from, and where she's going.

This is a tricky situation. A coloring book, specifically one that contains Sanrio characters, reads as quite youthful to those who don't understand. A child would naturally gravitate toward this type of item, but it's important as a parent to communicate that not everything exists for their benefit. A six-year-old seldom understands this to the greatest extent, but when the item they want is an item that holds sentimental value to another person, it's an integral step that ensures they won't take or destroy it.

At the end of the day, this was a learning lesson (or should be) for both the woman's husband, their niece, and the girl's parents. A child cannot always get their way, and in a relationship, you must respect your partner's wishes. They're not telling you certain things for fun; they are telling you because it's a fact of the matter.
