Bob ? Bob who ? You know, Bob the [ahole] !
*snickers*
A relative of ours was (probably still is) concerned about that they will be forgotten once gone...my father mentioned to him that we are all about 2 generations away from being forgotten. Your children will remember you as will most likely your grandkids. Great grandkids probably won't...or at least will barely know you....following them it is all just written history of you. With the emerging computer era less and less written history is being kept within families and a lot of videos are not kept yet because of a lack of permanent storage memory.
There is a lot historically that will be known about this era but there will be a decided lack of info on a more personal level.
My ego does not require the existence of a legacy. I'm quite confident that I won't be remembered.
Even with you guys still around, I remember most of you by whatever is your current avatar.
I think most people will be relieved when I'm gone..
Well, personally I don't care what they say or think now, let alone after I've shuffled off this mortal coil.
After I'm gone, let them surprise me.
I must say that I've known several of my great grandparents and have some memory of them. Lots of family documentation and photos that go many generations back.
