i love the 60s - twilight zone

[watab kid]

a show that was based on the portrait of doruan gray , a gut that has lived for a long time - was in shermans army staff , knew galileo , its all absurd but fun to speculate , reminded me of the early librarian movie with [kate beckett] stana  katic actress , she was a vampire thatr had lived through a lot of eras , guy not aging over all the decades , then shot by an ex that finaly ends his life , 

 

seems to me to say a lot of our lives , we live we die , hopefully we leave a small mark thats worth remembering by someone

I am fairly certain that I will be remembered....for awhile, at least.  Maybe a year or so by family and friends, but even those memories will fade away.

I watched that episode myself a few weeks back and enjoyed it too.

While I know that I'll never be famous or even well known, I like to think that my "legacy" will be that my daughter, and maybe other people I've known along the way, will do Good Things, however big or small, because of my influence.

That will be good enough for me.

Amen.  Me too.my brother.

I remember my grandparents well, having been well into adulthood when they died. 

 

I have a few 'snapshot' memories of three great-grandparents, who died in the 1950s.

 

I've read that, barring fame, we are remembered for at most about 3 generations; 75 years or maybe a bit more. Then no living memory at all.

 

A friend recently told me of a young relative in his family, 14 years old, who was then dying of cancer. Though the boy had become calm about approaching death, his biggest anxiety was that he would be forgotten. 

 

I think the desire to be remembered, logical or not, is pretty universal.

sadly i agree , i remember a lot of friends and family that are gone but too much family never met them or were too young to really know them , i try every day to recall all i can these days of those i miss , 

 

as to my friend that are gone i share a lot of common friends and we do reflect a lot on missing them when we gat together or speak on the phone , i like to think it keeps them alive in our lives if nothing goes on after us - so be it , 

 

i tend to agree with red gauntlet , i will say all i would hope for is that the memory would be fond rather that ill , ive never intentionally tried to leave anyone with an ill thought of me but two ex wives might say otherwise i suppose , but if thats the case my conscience is clear as i harbor no ill will for them ,

i think you can rest assured of that , i believe that all of us that raised great kids will be remembered for that at some point in time no matter how fleeting that might be , i hope ive left a good impression on my grandkids as well - thats another generation at least ,
