~ I won't.....~

Life.....and all its details.....I won't be remembered for the music that played in my youth ... I will be remembered for the music filling the air of our home ,making  music important, and grow to appreciate  .  I won't be remembered for the first car I owned..... I will be remembered for teaching someone to drive with a philosophic outlook and a good sense of humor .I won't be remembered for The Wedding gown that I wore.... I will be remembered by How it sat on display my entire married life , just next to my bedside in my room. So to never forget just how fortunate I was to find love . I won't be remembered for my house keeping capabilities... I will be remembered  by the home we made together... was always open to the lost souls, wayward teenagers, family and friends that walked over the threshold with the aroma of fresh baking bread in the ~circa~1900 oven ....filling the air . I won't be remembered for being a good and loving daughter , for that I know  I wasn't... I will be remembered for being the best Mother I could be . The love and care I have given each child and for the son I no longer have. I won't be remembered for  the 1858 piano that stayed in the dining room...I will be remembered for teaching each child to play Chopin with great love. I won't be remembered on the amount of money I spent on developing  film... I will be remembered for the all photographs that I have taken , framed and hung  with great care.... So Greg didn't miss the important and the not so important days of his children's lives. I won't be remembered by all the great books I have read.... I will be remembered for the grand collection I left behind and have hidden  notes ,Stamps ,photographs,  dried flower ,old currency  and my children and grand-children's  art work in just about every book . I won't be remembered by  the political views I held or how I choice to vote..... But....I will be remembered by my laughter ....my loving heart....my kind soul...my eccentric ways.... and oh yes.....the long red hair ^,~
