If you were to pass-away what would you want to be remembered for?

I learned this from my parents who did the same.
I've had parents sign over custody to me just for the asking. To me, kids are NOT a disposable commodity and whether they're yours or mine, they're welcome at my table. I don't expect a thank you, but admit I got misty-eyed when laying in CCU, 11 of "my kids" came traipsing in together to check on me. The nursing staff had asked me how many children I had because only immediate family was allowed; so I told them I had lost count but that anyone admitting to being one of mine should be let in. If nothing else, I hope they remember this about me and continue to do the same.

Bless your heart, we need more people like you in this world!! Thank you for being who you are
