by Lori Pyne
I sat in the room listening to mourners recounting memories of the life just lost. The picture that grew from the stories exchanged was that of a life well lived. I couldn’t help but wonder how I would be remembered.
Would I also have friends, family and business associates competing to share the best story of my many acts of kindness?
Will my children, both biological and those from my heart, remember my unwavering love? Whatever the challenges faced, will my parental devotion shine through the solutions explored?
Will my business associates compare the many examples of my honesty, my determination, my generosity, my ethics and my morals?
Will my friends, those from birth to those newly made, gather to discuss my giving spirit, my always open door, my ever ready support, my never say die attitude, my big heart?
When I am remembered, will it be for the things I did and the people I touched? Will the world be just a little better because I passed through?
Will those I leave behind remember a life well lived?
How would you want to be remembered?
