What have I done?

For the past couple of days, my mind has been filled with the idea of, 'what have I done in the past 28 years'? Friday night Julie and I went to a birthday party (80) for a man we have known our entire lives. His daughter made a toast to him, and it listed all of his accomplishments. He is a veteran of the armed forces, father, grandfather, great-grandfather... All these things his children are so proud of him for....
It made me think.
Saturday, we went to visit my mom's uncle. One of my favorite relatives in the world. It may sound trivial, but he always knew which one each of us is. He didn't need to go through the whole list of names, it just came to him. That is not why I like him so much--- I have childhood days filled with Animal Stripes Gum, soda from the station store, and this random game we would play with pennies. Of course, the name element did help. Again, though.... We started talking with Herb about all he has done in his 93 years here. It made me feel scared that maybe when I am at that stage in life, people will only have quiet to share with me.
So, today I am going to do something I will remember. That Coen will talk about when I am old. That, if I have children, my own children will laugh about.... I am going to do it....
Okay. Maybe not today.
