Your comment was not a downer. Legacy is so much on my mind these days. I worry that when the time comes, my passing and my husband's passing will bring pain to my granddaughter and my children. I want fond memories and not pain to be the experience. It sounds to me that you are in that place. Your grandmother did a good job apparently in offering you the gift of legacy. It must have been a great love she had for you. These thoughts are not downers...they anchor us, and give us roots.
