What do I leave?

What kind of legacy am I leaving?

When Im finally gone from this earth one day, what will be the one thing people remember about me?

What will my children think about me? what will they take from me and carry on to their own children?

am I leaving them a legacy that will carry on for years or one that will fade in the wind, like dust or dried leaves?

I want my children to know beyond a reasonable doubt, that their mother loved them beyond reason, beyond belief, beyond the moon and the stars. that they were her WHOLE life and everything else was just "noise".

Will they teach them how to make meatballs from scratch, with only fresh bread crumbs and fresh garlic? Will they make elaborate costumes for Halloween? Will they sit at each and every sporting even that their children participate in, even if they come in last?

Will they become obsessive about what their child was wearing the last time they saw them, just in case the unthinkable happens? will they tell their child "I love you!" each and every day, even if it's by phone?

Will they snuggle on the couch and watch Disney movies all day?

Will they let their children have a "mental heath day:" every year from school....just because EVERYONE needs a free pass every now and then?

Will they get married and stick with the marriage, even if it gets rough and they want out? will they then fall in love with their spouse all over again and finally realize WHY they married that person in the first place?

Will they tell their children crazy stories of MiMi and all the insane stuff she did and said?

Will they get together every holiday and have big huge meals together and reminisce about growing up?

Will they love one another and always remember that "the people in this house are the most important people in your lives"?



Will they remember me?
