I want them to remember that I was the first person to live past 200 years. :)
My love of pillows and zombies.
I’d rather people forget about that time I drank a bunch of urine.
I want to be remembered as a go-getter. Someone who put their mind to something and went and got it no matter the circumstances. I want my personality to be remembered and loved for ages, because I work so hard on trying to be the best person I can be. I wouldn’t expect for people to forget my mistakes but I do hope I get forgiven.
I hope they remember that I told them to fuggetaboudit.
That I tried my best and did it as Frank said…my way. As to what I want them to forget, hmm, I feel a bit surprised myself that I’m unable to think of one at this stage. Maybe tomorrow.
Some say this is weird (but then again, what isn’t) but I wish that everything was just erased, no memories of me, no trace of me, I just want to be forgotten by all.
I like the idea of them remembering their positive memories with me.
I like the idea of them forgetting any hurt I may have caused. I don’t like people hurting because of me. It would be nice if they would use that hurt to better their lives instead of living in pain.
I just want them to remember I loved them and I was always proud of them.
I would prefer they forget my bad temper.
I’d like to be remembered for being a creative and friendly person who tried to see the best in others and I’d like my work to be appreciated. I’d prefer they forget how scatterbrained I could get.
Then I’d like them to have a big wake and have a pint!
At my increasing age I notice that by a couple of years after you are gone, not many people remember you at all!!! And that is pretty much okay with me, I have done good things and bad things in my life but really nothing that has made me particularly memorable to anyone, hehehe!

I would want to be remembered as a person who marched to the beat of their own drummer, but who always had good intentions regardless. What I wouldn’t want to be remembered for? Maybe my temper at times.

What I’ve done. Whether it be good or bad (hopefully good) I want to make an impression. I want to make a difference. I want to contribute to something big, something huge!
From “Pippin”
I want my life to be… something more than long…
That I loved God.
That I loved my wife, my children, and my grandchildren.
That I loved my brothers and sisters on this planet.
That I helped where it was possible for me to help.
That I served with honor and distinction.
That I never gave up.
There only thing I would like forgotten is that I couldn’t make my first marriage work.
That I was funny and made them laugh.
That I came, I saw, and then took a nap.
In addition to my earlier answer – that I was a bit of a nut who wasn’t afraid to show my silly side.
In addition to my earlier answer—that I never gave up on life and always believed something good would come sooner or later.
To remember that life lessons are hard on everyone and that I learned that understanding comes through these life lessons.
Wisdom is earned, through trial and error.
That in the end everyone has a need to be understood.
That on my tombstone be placed” I understand”.
