I'm torn on this one. On the one hand, it's sweet, but on the other, the thought of someone else doing all the things I had wanted to do in my own life, and couldn't, seems kind of unpleasant to me. I couldn't get the joy of something, so someone else is going to experience the fun for me? I do like the idea of someone doing good deeds that I didn't have time to do, though.
I pretty much agree with you. I think it depends on the situation. I love the idea of doing it as a tribute to someone who has passed away, but I don't think I would like it if the list maker was still living and for some reason or another couldn't complete the list. It's like rubbing it in their face the things they can no longer enjoy.

I agree that a tribute would probably be the only way this would work. And as a tribute it is very sweet. Otherwise it is kinda strange.
