Legacy

My mother didn't really get the chance to create a legacy for herself because she died so young. I want to do something more than just getting a nice tombstone for her, I want to do something that is going to actually create a lasting memory of her for the rest of the world. I'm already planning to create a web page so people can donate in memory of her. Does anybody have any other ideas? I want the whole world to know who she was.

Hi Julie,

My mom, too, went before her time. I lost her to cancer this past December. My mom loved nature and children, so my dad and I had a tree planted in her memory at one of her favorite parks, right next to the playground, so families can enjoy the shade that it provides.

The web page is a really nice idea. What did your mom like? Value? What helped me was to think about the things that mattered most to my mom and to go from there.

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
