Death is all around us... sooner or later everyone we know will be dead. Its a weird thing. We attended Marla's grandfathers funeral today. He was a well respected and caring man. He had 9 children, and he had 59 grand children, and 157 great grand children, and 2 great great grand children. Can you imagine that? He was 91 years old. An amazing life time as a carpenter, and farmer. I will marry the woman of my dreams in September, and I hope to have children with her. My children will grow and have children, and so on. How many generations will go by till I'm forgotten. Most likely 3 right? My children will remember me, and I hope my grand children will. But most likely my great grand children will never have met me. Who knows maybe bry.net will still be around right? Probably not. Of course technology still has greatly changed. I will be in pictures, videos. Maybe in my old age I can record a video for my future generations and tell them about my life. People like George Washington, and Albert Einstien will be remembered forever. Will I? Do I want to be?
