I have been (Rather oddly) considering this alot lately.

I would just like to be remembered as being someone that made a difference, achieved immortality through both his work and actions.

It is far too soon to say, I hope. I do know that several of my past employees have come up to me years later and said things they remember me for:

“You told me about how vital it was to document software and procedures, and I complained. Now I run a technical documentation Department and you were right!”

“You told that the current computer equipment that we had was because we were an R&D company and the real world was many generations behind us, and I never believed you. Then, I went to work for the City, and they were using ATs. You were right.”

Think one of those would work on my tombstone?

@Marina for your tombstone how about “I told you tombstones would be holographic”

By my family, a loving mom & grandma, I hope. Someone they can count it. By my friends, someone that keeps friendships for years & is fun to be around. Again, I hope I’d be remembered that way.

I’d be grateful to just be remembered. Just for being me.

Getting my head stuck in a fence. My family has brought this up every time I’ve see them for the last 22 years! The things i have done so far in life are unremarkable, but I have a feeling this event will be remembered long after I’m gone.

Probably for about half an hour or so.

nothing, the memory of me will fade away like the snow from the ground in spring

only the relief of warmth from the cold of my being will await those i leave behind

I really want to die as an eccentric billionaire. Nobody can tell if my oddness is senility or genius. I am known by few and feared by all. After my death, people say my name in hushed tones of awe and respect, with a hint of puzzlement.

IF I am remembered here I hope it is for pithy (or pissy) answers.

But our generation will be remembered as the ones who were obsessed with vampires lol

What will you be remembered for? I don’t see an answer from you…

RareDenver's avatar

@seeing_red
I’ve just asked someone what will I be remembered for when I die and she said, ‘being married to Jenny’

seeing_red's avatar

Sheriff_fan's avatar

@Clair it’s ok. Weird…..but ok.

For being the one who went against the parent’s wishes.
For being someone others looked up to,

And also for being the greatest girlfriend that I can be.
