I have to admit that I don't think I've done anything memorable enough to be remembered. I am basically an extension of my husband and HE will be --- mainly because he is local and he knows, and is appreicated by,
Carol, I know what you mean. I'm either my kids' mother or DH's wife. A lot of people don't even know my name ... How do you think your family will remember you, though? I keep thinking that my kids would hopefully remember me as a caring Mom, but also one who can't keep a house clean and is always busy in the barn ...
Don't be so hard on yourself, Carol. I'm sure there are a lot of people who'll remember you. Sometimes it's not the "well known" that are remembered that much. Even if it's only because of the renovations or crafts you have done people will remember you.
Thanks --- After I wrote that, I wondered if it sounded a little too "poor me" but I was finally realizing how few people actually KNOW me! What comes form all that moving aorund, I suspect --- one loses touch with what were once best freinds.
I know what you mean. Mind you I haven't moved too much lately, but when I moved four hours away I lost touch with a couple of people who I had called friends back there. I tried staying in touch, but it seemed to be one sided ...
Exactly, and it's so hard to keep on writing or phoning when you aren't reciprocated... Eventually, I give up and that freind dirfts even further away. Maybe if I gave in and joined a social network --- but those things bug me with privacy issues so... I remain somewhat isolated with only a small circle of acquaintances, family and really only two close friends.
Not complaining --- just recognizing the temproary nature of the friendships I have made over the many years...
But maybe I will try reaching out a little more. LOL
Carol, I find that having a few "real friends: is worth more then having a lot of "sort of friends". You can count on us to be your friend, we'd miss you and remember you ...

I too live a quite life, but if I am remembered as a devoted wife and mother then that would be enough.
Well, besides, DH, all my family
