Would your deceased loved one be proud of you?

No, I don’t think so.

Them being “deceased”, fully understanding the end result of life.

I would assume they would be happy that I am alive.

I haven’t lost a parent or anything, but it makes me sad to think about this, because I know that my grandmother would’ve loved me so much if she were still around. She would definitely be proud of me.

We had so much in common, but she got Alzheimer’s when I was 10 or so, before I could even really develop my interests to the point where they are now. If she were still here, we could’ve talked extensively about languages and travel and classical music (three of my strongest interests that are shared by her). :(

But definitely, she would be proud. I like to think that somewhere, she is “normal” and unaffected by Alzheimer’s and can see what’s become of the people she loved.

Some of my days, yes…other days, no! i just do the best i can everyday!

They would kick my ass!LOL!
I think they would be just fine with the way I handle things;))

I would hope that my Pops is proud of me at this point in my life. I too have done my best when it comes to family, even though I live 100 miles away. I talk to my mom everyday and visit 1–3 times a week. Pops always believed family came first and if you honored your family your life would be rewarded.

@AmWiser My Mom was the same way.

I hope milady Meghan is proud of me. I’m carrying on her work to the best of my ability, despite lack of training and few “people skills”. The well-run organic farm is a memorial to her dreams. In the depths of depression, I believed that she wanted me to join her immediately; now I feel that she wants me to continue our work, I’ll join her in the family graveyard soon enough. I remain utterly loyal to Meg and consider our marriage vows to be still in force; “til death do us part” means my death to me. I’m like the Canada Goose, mate once and for life.

I’m sure that my mom would be proud of me because, I have learned from my mistakes. Yeah, I’m not perfect, but I have learned something new everytime I fall/fail. So yes, she would be very happy with what I have done, and how I live my life.

Overall, yes. My grandfather would see I have tried and learned a few new things for myself and he’d be very proud of how I’ve tried to take care of my mother.

Crap, I’m proud of everyone..

I am pretty sure they would be proud of me as they were before they died.

My Dad said to me twice in the last six months of his life, “You do everything so well.” It was a very precious gift.

And, damn you, John Denver for playing on my tv right now. Sunshine On My Shoulders. :’(

Auntie Phyllis would be thrilled I married a nice Italian girl.

Uncle David would love that I like jazz.

Auntie Edna & Uncle Mike would be happy that I work hard.

Uncle Peter and Papa would like that I work around flowers.

Grandpa Joe would be pleased I look like him.

Nana would be happy I stood up to my mother.

Dad would think I’m a good dad.

I have everything I ever wanted. My parents would be so happy for me.

I think my dad would just be happy that I’m doing well and happy. He may be disappointed that I don’t go to church any more but he would be proud that I still believe in God and that I have a happy marriage and two wonderful children who I raised with lots of love the way he did with us. And that I didn’t abandon my mom and still keep in contact with her everyday. We didn’t always and still don’t always get along but before he died he asked me to be there for her because she would need my strength and to try to understand her. Been keeping my promise for 29 years.
For my dad, God and family was most important.

No. Just hoping I’ll make it from start to finish.
Onstead of being and doing all the things she wanted to do and be,
I couldn’t even do half the things she did.
I was a disappointment, but it could have been worse.

I’d like to think that 2 people are proud of me. My father whom I last saw at the Age of 16 and passed in ‘05, and my favorite uncle who died 2 years before I graduated med-school.

Dad was an Architect and my uncle was a Physician… both almost cried when I told them I wanted to be a doctor when I grew up. My father wanted nothing more than a son who made a difference in other people’s lives, and my uncle was so touched that I was following in his footsteps that he was planning to throw me a huge party and take me on a cruise when I graduated (I found this out at his funeral…He had told my aunt countless times how proud he was of me back then. My cousin and I were the ones who took it the hardest and the ones who got to go through his stuff and catalog everything… including the stuff at his office where we found on his desk a picture of the two of us @ age 5 dressed in lab coats and playing with stethoscopes. I cried my eyes out.). neither got to see me graduate. I’d like to think they can see me and what I do… and that I make them proud.

@Dr_C

What a sweet sharing, thanks for that!

Yes, I believe so.

I was an only child born late in life to a couple of really bright stars.
( Dad was an Architect and mom was a concert pianist and translator for the U.N. )
I think they would be proud if they could see me now, and know all that I have accomplished and overcome.

I cherish my daughter, age 22, a long line of distinguished onlies of onlies. lol

@anartist

It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish! ;-)

@Coloma XXXs 2 u

definitely not.
I came from a very religious family who thinks that setting a family is the most important thing you can do in life.
Since I’m an atheist and I don’t give a shit about family and things like this and I also like science(in my family science is considered as a sin),I can be pretty sure that I disappointed lots of generation.
But that’s life someone had to break the pattern.

@Christian95 Alfred says it all. Well you are living your life for yourself, anyway.

No because I did not do or end up as they wanted…

I would hope that things such as pride or other forms of human vanity would be overcome in the hereafter.

If Love is really all there is (as I choose to believe), what useful purpose would pride serve?

Yes

What, me worry? Long as they don’t haunt me, I’m good.
