I began thinking today about a legacy...what do I want people to remember about me? When I am no longer here what will my children think? When they are grown and faced with life...how can my actions now help them?
I want them to remember their Mother as being strong.

I want them to remember their Mother's scent.....I know this sounds strange, BUT, my Mother always wore a perfume called Tribu by United Colors of Benetton. If I smell it, I immediately think of her.
