I feel like a complete Megan Fox Things break. It happens. If they were mine, I'd certainly accept a sincere apology. Then I would tell them that the bottle of quality booze they were offering was absolutely not needed but, ultimately, and graciously, accept it.

matt770 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I would be really passive-aggressive about it, smiling through pursed lips, saying "really, it's fine, my grandmother loved those ornaments but luckily she's been dead for 18 years and isn't here to see this. I probably have other keepsakes to remember her by." Then while sweeping them up..."See here -- Made in Poland -- they were made in a little village that I believe no longer exists, by my grandmother's best friend from grade school. (wiping away a tear) Augh, I don't know why I should care so much, it's not like physical possessions can bring a person back. (looking up) Love you Grandma. Miss you."

Miss you." lol--pretty good As for the original question, send the people a hand-written apology letter. (Perhaps you could also look on E-bay/Craigslist to see if there is anything similar you could purchase to give to them. -- If you come up empty, perhaps tell them of your unsuccessful pursuit in the letter. (Perhaps you should get them a giftcard so that they can purchase something similar on their own, but I don't know as this would be like trying to place a dollar value on their memories.)) In any case, write them the letter to let them know you truly feel bad about what happened.) Edited December 27, 2011 by wiegie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furd Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I think that a sincere apology and an offer to purchase new ornaments is called for. Nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditkaless Wonders Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Collect the shards of their broken memories. Go to a glass blower. Have the glass blower make an ornament encasing the shards. Color and temper the ornament with your tears and blood both provided to the glass blower before he starts working. Or a simple and sincere apology offered between friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
