Was at a friends' Celebration of Life , last week ... and relatives and friends spoke eloquently at length , of achievements and past actions . Which led me to ponder , whether I have done enough , for people to remember me by ....How about you .... what will they be talking about .... or will they even remember????

I don't know that anyone will remember me for anything all that spectacular, but they might remember me for some small things.

When my daughter arrived here last week she brought with her a graduation announcement that was sent to me by a former student from when I taught Kindergarten. This student is transgendered F to M. When I had him he was a five-year-old little girl. Now he's all grown up, 18, handsome, with facial hair. I can't believe so much time has passed. But he and his mom thanked me for allowing him to be "him" back then. She was a quirky little girl, always wanted to play with the "boy" toys and be the male when they were playing house or whatever. When we made paper bag puppets or art projects where there was a girl version or a boy version, she always wanted to make the boy version. And I'd let her, I didn't make a big deal out of it, never said anything, I just let her be herself. But in the note with that graduation announcement they thanked me for that and for loving her just the way she was. They appreciated it and never forgot it. So at least someone remembers me in some small way as a positive influence on their life. And that's pretty cool.

Just want to be remembered as a good father, son, brother, and friend. Anything else is extra but not vital.

Nobody will remember me but put this on my tombstone...

She tried to save the world but couldn't.

:sob::sob::sob: I will always remember you :sob::sob::sob:

OT: I will be remembered as a survivor in all different aspects.
