It is so simple to answer this question. It is the kind of question that left me in deep thought for hours before writing this essay.

My family is very important to me. My family is my life. I want to be remembered for big or small discoveries every day, for our funny parties, interesting travels around the world, spending time together, happy childhood days, joking, and smiling with my family.

I hope my son and my two girls will remember me as being a really good mum. I want my husband to remember me as a good wife and mother, and as someone who was generous with my time. I want to be remembered for creating lovely things, our relaxing atmosphere at home, and for having a good sense of humor.

My job takes a big place in my life. I want my colleagues to remember me as a responsible, creative person that can help when they need me. I hope to be remembered as a funny person who always makes people laugh. It would be good to be remembered as a kind and generous person. Of course, I hope I will also be forgiven for all my many mistakes.

By the way, I have just read a great saying about the goal of life: As one who strived for his own inner peace and offered a path of peacefulness to others. It is so simple, so sweet! I think it is my way too. This idea is deeply ingrained in my mind. I would be happy if it came true.
