Legacy

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou

It is very important to prepare for death. A will, a trust, instructions for the funeral, all of these details worked out ahead of time will greatly lessen the burden on our grieving loved ones. It also makes practical sense to ensure that any inheritance we leave behind will pass on without delay and without a lot of unnecessary fees being taken off the top. While some may think they are too young, or their means are too modest to make final arrangements, there are others who simply are in denial about the fact of their own demise.

Memory is the only certain immortality. We all will live on in the lives of the people we influence and touch. In a positive way, or a negative one. It is up to us. Each day that we live our lives, we are creating our legacy. What kind of memory will I leave behind?
