Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: How will you be remembered?: 5 of 58
What will we be remembered for? The older we get, the more we think about how we've lived our lives. We all want to "make a mark", to be remembered by someone; to hope that what we've done and how we lived was actually relevant.

I am alive! I am still here! Can you not see me? I am aware! I no longer walk, and I cannot talk, but my mind is alert! Do you not care? I live and I breathe. I think and I dream.

Worrying runs in my family. It was passed down to me from my mother. She was an expert at it. Looking back from an adults perspective, I can see she worried about many things. Every problem was something to stew about, something to agonize about, something to lose sleep over. Being mediator between her husband and her childr... More..
