Posterity - at least I can be of some use when i'm dead then. It would be nice to think of people still referring to me and speaking my name once I am long dead and buried.

How about both......But I really dont' care.....Just want my children and my childrens children to remember me once I am gone.

Like my nanna she was 103 when she passed and to think that she live 100+ years is amazing to me. I will share her story with my baby and so forth. But she is famous to me....

I think i'd rather be recognized now. It seems lonely to be recognized only after i'm already gone. Love me while i'm alive, I won't know when i'm dead. Wink

I had to think about it for a long time before I could decide 100% I think it's more a question of how you view the world than anything else. I think this corresponds to my attitude about life. I prefer planning for the short term. My long term plans are always vague and hazy at best. I think that's why I don't really appreciate the posterity thing. I really can't think that far ahead.
