Yeah, I’m expecting this to get modded. I couldn’t think of a better title.

So.
My great-grandmother passed away last November.
Earlier that year, I had taken a picture of her with my film camera and developed/antiqued it myself when she was still in her house. It is now the last picture of her in her house, and one of the last pictures of her smiling and not attached to machines.

Everyone wants a copy of this picture, but I’ve told them that it’s special to me because she actually let me take the picture and that she was always a big part of my life.

Basically, I don’t want them to have a copy. It’s my only copy because the film got ruined and it’s just something special to me.

My aunt and mother have both threatened me, and have gone as far as stealing the picture off my wall to try and copy it.

Am I being selfish?
