I remember my great-grandfathers: Gilbert, Clyde, Coit, and Sam. They mean something to me because I would not be me if they weren't them. Something would be different if their lives were different. There are connections. Life continues.

Yes, we should live our lives not worried about appearances to others. Most of our accomplishments will be fleeting at best, but the lives we live influence our children and our grandchildren, and that influence passes along, whether they remember my name - because of a shared passion for family genealogy - or not.

I know some things about my grandfather from 120 years ago, because he'd write letters. http://walterbright.com/trip/chas.html I suppose the stuff I post on the internet will last forever :-)

Geocities were there 20 years ago. I posted some cringeworthy things there. Now they aren't there anymore (thank goodness).

Your posts, too, shall pass.
