Legacy Matters - and that is whey iForem is here!
This is a great part of a larger piece from Jill Fallon,
Some things ARE priceless. The sound of a loved one's voice, the smile of your first dog, your
grandfather's stories, your daughter's graduation, your mother's peanut brittle, your greatest triumphs,
your biggest regret, what you love, who you love, who you are. If you fail to capture them in a way
that they can be given away or passed on, they lose their value. Worse, you'll probably forget them and
no one will ever know. One of the most haunting quotes I've ever read is by Joan Didion, "We forget all
too soon the things we thought we could never forget; we forget what we whispered and what we dreamed; we
forget who we were"
That's why I think it's so important to make a legacy plan. Yes, it's for your family, your children and
grandchildren yet unborn; but, it's also for yourself. It's how you keep in touch with your former selves
- who you were at 20 and who you were when your first child was born, and after you lost your father,
what you learned and what you thought was most important. So the sooner you can start on your
legacy plan, the better and richer it will be. It's how you'll see how far you've come.
