I read this yesterday and it made my mind start winding up and I went away without comenting.  I loved it though and came back to read again today.

I BELIEVE THOSE WHO KNEW YOU WILL REMEMBER, ALL THINGS DONE OUT OF LOVE WILL LIVE ON, ONE LIFE TO LIVE , SOON WILL PASS, ONLY WHAT'S DONE OUT OF LOVE WILL LAST.

 Sinome - powerful and thoughtful, hearty write here.  I wonder this myself rarely but I do, especially when I recall those that have gone before me and a memory brings such life to moments - with memories and LOVE and warmth to boot...I'm certain, yes, you would be found as LOVING, LOVELY and Valuable for all ~ Elyse

Interesing idea of what is happening within its Non. No, no one is going to remember you for the words you wrote, but the silt you left behind. It's only the feeling that's remembered. But writing, yes writing, is the only way we have to arrive at this secret destination within ourselves, So what's important--to be remebered, or actually having arrived someplace?

Perhaps they will celebrate (rather than mourn) the things you DID do, the places you DID go to, the thoughts you DID have and shared.  I think the legacy we leave behind needn't be remarkable - it simple has to be the gift of who we chose to be and how we touched the lives of others.

A powerful poem/reflection I find this to be.

Now Simone you know your children and grandchildren would be devestated. I only know from experience my Mother wrote a sad little letter and placed it in a powder jar once when she thought she was ill. Actually she lived for a  many years afterwards but was ill in a different way. However none of my siblings would read the letter when I told them it was sad. Perhaps sometimes we should tell white lies and write happy things to be discovered to give our loved ones comfort. Other people like you as well Simone.
