Sometimes it's when people die that their impact is felt on this world like their worth, their values, what they have been doing right. It's occasionally said that you don't know what you have until you lose it so I guess I will beginning with illustrating this little tale for a more clearance of what I have said.

My uncle died after he was done with school and had a work he was doing that pays well though, when he was alive he doesn't come home always because of how he was busy trying to make money to send back home, he was the first born of the family (from my father's side) after him was my father's sister then my father followed before others came afterwards.

As I mentioned earlier he was the bread winner of the family because my grandparents didn't earn much, my uncle was the only one that was a graduate in the house so all of his siblings wanted to be like him. He wanted coming home one Christmas like that when they heard he had a fatal accident and couldn't make it alive.

According to my father it was just like a dream to him that he wouldn't want to wake up from, I wasn't alive or even thought of been conceived when it happened I only met pictures and stories of what happened, my father wouldn't stop talking about it because his brother left a great impact on him.

His brother left his legacy and good life back which my father held onto, when I narrated my late uncle's ordeal someone would think I was there when all this happened but I wasn't I only heard of it because of the good legacy he left behind. This brings me to the part where I would say if eventually I die one day I wouldn't want people to only remember the smiles behind those pretty face or the good body shapes I would want them to have a legacy of me that would last.

Just like my uncle's legacy lasted I would want mine to even last more, I would want the good I have done for people to motivate others to do more if not exactly when am no longer there to do them , I would want my name to become a good memories humors than those of bad ones.

I would want even more legacy to be labeled on me when am no more. Thanks for sharing in my scale of preference, your comments would be appreciated 🤭😚😘.

Your uncle was very important to your family, while it would be admirable and honoring for you to follow in your Uncle's foot prints, I hope you do so in YOUR way, style and career choice.

Thanks for sharing
