50 years from now what will be remembered...

hate to break it to you but,
not many people, if any...

will remember if you had a pool,
or a flat screen TV.
no one will remember
your favorite haircut,
your chic shoes,
or your fall patio furniture set.

I'm not saying it is bad
to remember or have these things...
but we need to remember,
what will be remembered

most people will remember
how you made
life a little bit better,
for that one (or more) person...

~Many people will remember when you left your home in California to live with & care for orphan kids in a third-world-country

~Many people will remember how you opened a little more space in your family for a child who didn't have one.

~Many people will remember how you used your talents to improve a life of someone you didn't know, for no pay.

~Many people will remember how you started that organization for the children of Haiti and how it grew and grew into an orphanage, a school and now a medical clinic.

They'll remember,
Because that's what matters in life.
