What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?

We wake up, get work, go back home and rinse and repeat – or at least it feels that way sometimes.  In truth, there are a million moments in between where we interact with others and we can’t help but wonder what folks will think about us once we aren’t showing up, perhaps once we are gone. Some very thoughtful members of the community share their thoughts on this with us below.

I hope when Im gone people remember one thing. No matter what happened in my life, I always faced it with a smile. My story isn’t all that different from anyone else’s. I’ve experienced joy and pain, love and loss, happiness and heartbreak—and everything in between. But through it all, I lived life my way. Read more>>

Legacy is an interesting, albeit sometimes narcissistic, concept for me. Legacy does not exist in a vacuum, it is not something I created from scratch. Who I am today, professionally and personally, was created and influenced by those who came before me and I am the current steward of this body of knowledge. Read more>>

I hope people say that I was always striving to be a good person by being honest, genuine, and true to myself. That I inspired others to know it’s okay to show up authentically, to never give up, and to keep moving forward no matter the challenge. Read more>>

It is my sincere hope that when my story is complete, people will have borne witness to the remarkable ways in which GOD can orchestrate events in this realm. As an individual who has faced a multitude of challenges, including heartache, disappointment, betrayal, hurt, grief, and health failure, I have learned that even when the odds are against you, it is possible to begin anew.

When my time is done and I am gone, I hope people would remember my love for God. I hope they’d tell of the radical faith and dependency I had on Him across all areas of my life, and share of all of the incredible supernatural stories that came from doing life with the Most High. Read more>>

That I truly cared about others. I wanted everyone to have fun when I was entertaining them. That kids mattered the most. That I valued family and friends. That when I loved I loved with my all heart. That God and my family were most important in my life. Peace to you all. Thanks for reading. Read more>>
