I got to thinking about my legacy last night. With a difficult anniversary approaching, just looking at the whole of my life. Knowing that I will never have heirs beyond this generation, nor have grandparents or parents living. All my siblings are gone but one and that one is 16 years older than I. I have one child left but he will never have children. Not only is there no one to pass anything down to (thats just stuff anyway), but who will have a photo of me on their wall or mantel? Who will recall stories of me? Who will remember (or even know) any of my story? Anyone who knows me only knows very small parts of it anyway. I moved around a lot, I changed careers, I dont have a home town. There is only one person outside of family that Ive known since grade school. Extended family was never close, as we were all step-families and widely spread. Cousins are getting older like me, nieces and nephews too, and their children dont even know me. I re-invented myself several times. Never burned any bridges except once, and that was to save my life. Oh, and its been a very interesting one. Perhaps its time for me to begin to write it all down, all that I can remember. But, who will read it?
