What Will You Be Rememberd For?

[akivory]

This would have never occurred to me when got married 27 years ago but I hope to be remembered for my roll as a grandfather. I am 52 years old and my 9th grandchild will be born in the spring. All but one of them are boys. I have not found anything more rewarding than spending time with and being involved in the development of these little guys.

You're a lucky man. Still waiting for my first grand-kid.

I'd say your perspective is good.

On the professional side, I'd be happy if my work saved a few government dollars and maybe a few peoples' lives.

I hope that my nieces and nephews will remember me with affection and remember that I made it a point to be as involved in thier lives as possible, and that I was a good role model. Two of my wife's sisters each named one of their sons for me. I am fortunate that I have 17 neices and nephews.

I hope I'll be remembered for my tenacity and grace. (Not gracefulness - I'm clumsy, but grace).

I'm too young to be remembered for anything important by my daughter - she's 16 so right now all she'll remember is that I worked too much. And I'm a pushover for a "pretty please"

I'll be remembered for being a rude jerk, blunt and insulting. I don't have a problem with that.

I can just hear my brothers now as they open the safe, "Wow! I didn't know he had THAT many knives."

 

[MORIMOTOM]

i think my dad will say,

"what the hell am i supposed to do with all these guns, knives, and porn?"

 

[kamkazmoto]

My grandson will probably remember me as the one that always had a knife with me. My daughter will remember watching all those cooking shows with me and my son I don't know. Hopefully it will be as the one that helped him grow up.

Nothing.I won't be remembered at all.

At the very least, I hope to pass on what will become some very cool family heirlooms.

Nothing.I won't be remembered at all.

That is pretty sad, man.

Honesty, integrity, insanity and volatility.

Ability to annoy the living heck out of people, usually not intended.

I hope to be remembered specifically by my nephew Ben, for my Cashen smallsword and my Rolex watch, which I hope to personally give to him when I no longer have use for such things(like in 35-40 years maybe, if there is still a world)

Best Regards,

As the guy that died as he lived, laughing.

A lot of interesting responses...some predictable, many not.

Savagesicslayer -- too late, man! If you hoped to sneak through life, you blew it. You will at least be remembered here. You're young yet -- without even trying, you'll make an impression on many people before you've run your course.

I don't think anyone goes unnoticed and unremembered.

Thinking about this question after reading it here kinda has me a little depressed.....38 years old married 16yrs no kids, no family younger than myself, no friends younger than myself (by more than a few years anyway), work for myself so no co workers. I don't know that I will be remembered by anyone other than maybe my wife if she out lives me. I certainly haven't done anything earthshattering.....hmmmm. I guess I do have to find somebody to leave all my guns, knives, safe, and tools to though.....they will remember me as "Oh crap.....what do we do with the arsenal, hundreds of knives, and a shop full of tools?"

My turkey Gravy.

 

[Peter_E_Ryt]

I dunno. I've got plenty of life left to live, so I hope to make more impressions (hopefully positive), meet more people, and leave the world a better place. Hopefully I'm remembered as a good son, a great brother, a loyal friend, and a dependable person. I'll probably be remembered as crazy, knife loving, car obsessed, and stubborn though.

.....being forgettable.....

"Sometime when you're feeling important,
Sometime when your ego's in bloom,
Sometime when you take it for granted,
You're the best qualified man in the room.
Sometime when you think that your passing
Will leave an unfillable hole,
Just remember this simple example,
And see how it humbles your soul.

Take a bucket and fill it with water,
Put your hand in up to your wrist,
The hole that you make when you leave it,
Is the measure of how much you'll be missed.

You may thrash all you want when you enter,
You may stir up the waters galore,
But just wait for a moment
And it is still the same as before.

The moral of this is quite simple,
Just do the best that you can.
But please always remember
There is no irreplaceable man."
