I hadn't thought of this until recently when I lost a friend to cancer. Mulu was from Ethiopia and started battling cancer approximately 6 months ago. She lost her battle on October 9th in her home country. She left behind 3 small children. Her family and friends where devastated with the quick defeat the cancer made. Mulu was strong in her faith. Once family and friends gathered I heard several statements from different people that where the same.
1. Mulu is the kindest person I know.
2. She is strong in her faith.
3. Mulu will help anyone in need.
4. Mulu is a strong, independent women.
5. She is a great nurse.
6. A wonderful mother and wife.
7. Mulu is a role model to friends, family and strangers.
8. She is a wonderful, giving friend.
I could continue this list forever. This quickly made me realize I want people to remember me for much of the same qualities as Mulu. The way you want to be remembered affects your life daily, a person must make decisions daily that effect the way you are remembered. How do you want to be remembered?
