As i come to grips with your passing, I have also become more realistic about MY legacy. I know it is selfish, but give me a minute, Sandy, and it will become clear
Throughout my life, I always thought I was going to make an impact on the world. I was going to do something that was noteworthy enough to live beyond my lifetime. It was ego, I admit. But is was my imagined way to consider that I meant something. That my existence on the face of the Earth was important.
The closest I came to that was when I retired and the company valued to software I produced in my last years as an asset valued at 2 Million Dollars. This was far greater than what I earned developing the software and the fact that they considered an asset, rarely done with software, gave me a small, small legacy. Little did I know that a few short years later, they went in another direction and, if it worked it worked. Otherwise, the heck with it
This my vaulted legacy has disappeared. I have no doubt that when I pass, there will little or no recognition of my passing. You know, that’s Ok.
But what isnt OK, and something that I will continue to work on, is your legacy. I could care less about me, but I will try like heck to let the world know what a special person you were in life. I want your beauty and love to live beyond you and me. I do not know how, but I will try
i promise
