Today, my mom sent me beautiful candlesticks along with some half burned candles. I thanked her. She told me the candlesticks were a wedding gift to my grandmother 85 years ago. Then she said the candles were used at my grandma's wedding. I had already lit them. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mom lit a candle in our living room, telling the family how much she loved it. She then went on the tell us that my dad got it for her and it must have been some cheap candle. I bought the candle as a gift for her on her birthday. FML
Today, I dug out the 5 fancy, extremely expensive candles I bought during Black Friday. I lit one up, and was delighted that it smelled so great. My mother then walked into my room and stated that it smelled "like shit". The other four were going to be a Christmas gift for her. FML
Today, I was at my friend's house and accidentally blew out a candle that was supposed to be lit for seven days straight. It was in honor of her grandmother who had recently died. FML
Today, my mother-in-law gave me a toaster and a fork as a wedding gift. FML
Today, my mother scolded me for having a lighter in my room. My reason I had it? The candle that she bought me for my 25th birthday. I don't even live with her anymore, she showed up uninvited, and started going through my stuff. FML
Today, my mom and I were talking about a wedding decoration that we are going to use at my wedding. I insisted that I gave the decorations to her and I didn’t bother looking in my house. She came over for the night and cleaned while I was at work. She found the decorations that I'd insisted that I'd given to her. FML
Today, I found a box of birthday candles sitting on the coffee table. Bored, I lit one, and after a minute I threw it away and sat back down on the couch. I started looking at the box and noticed that it said "Magic Re-Lighting Candles" at the exact moment that my trash can burst into flames. FML
Today, I was having a garage sale and my mother-in-law came by to see what I was selling. She decided to buy these ugly green wine glasses that were still unopened. It turns out that she gave those to my wife and me when we got married. FML
Today, my family was celebrating my grandma's 90th birthday. I pulled a little prank and got candles that keep relighting. After a few blows, my grandma fainted. FML
Today, I was supposed to light candles at my aunt's wedding. I accidentally lit the groom on fire. FML

idk, I think "had already lit them" could certainly mean she lit them until they were gone.

You can't keep these things forever. Appreciate them while you have it, keep it in your memory when you don't. All things end, but the physical ending comes much faster than the mental one. Suck it up, and it matters to you, you wouldn't appreciate it any less.

Ha this is my mom! There was no card, she loves candles and lights them whenever she can, her mom didn't call til later, the candles were already burned down when she did call, and the candles were lit at her grandma's wedding and that's why they were burnt a bit.

I think as long as you didn't burn them right down to nothing, it's fine. And everyone here seems to not understand semtimental value... I have kept the most random-ass things out of sentimental value! an empty box, a broken piece of jewlery, a dead flower from someone else's graduation...it isn't the thing so much as what the thing means.
