Ultimately, I don't care because I'll be dead, but as someone who wanted to be as famous as Elvis, and your passing goes unnoticed for the most part, it's not exactly how you dreamed your life to be. There's so much more to this, but I won't use this space to peel it back, but I'm sure every person buried in a pauper's field, or cremated and have their cremains left behind at the funeral home, all probably had hoped to make a big mark in the world- but the world is a BIG place. Only the "famous" and "infamous" make that indelible mark, which is why some people commit heinous acts. Fame is a powerful drug. I know I will leave behind four children (one of my own). and so far, two grandkids. I want to live long enough to be remembered fondly by them.

That's the key. A positive legacy for your spawn.
