How do you want to be remembered by others?

For most ordinary person's their epitath is the means by which those who did not know them will remember them. Here's the best epitath I've ever seen. I did not write this. I don't know if anyone knows who did. Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morining's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.

Great question! Even as I creep into old age - this is not one of the things I have thought about. However. I want to be remembered by my children for teaching them the value of, love, truth and to recognise happiness when they see it. To maybe stick by the dictum "Do as you would hope to be done by" I hope my very few friends hope to remember me by knowing I had never let them down and that I was fun to be with. By the people who I play guitar with as being a rebel and always willing to be different and challenge the boundries. By my students who read my obitury as someone they remember with affection because they learnt stuff and I challenged them too. Not that I am planning on poppin' my clogs yet - loads of stuff to do.

I just to be remembered as someone who has been there for everyone. In spite of only getting to spend a few times with my friends, I just want them to remember always that I'm just here for them no matter what the situation may be. I also just want them to think that even when I'm gone already, I'd still be there to hear them out and still help probably through prayers.
