The Way She Hopes to be Remembered

Went for a performance on Saturday evening to support a friend of mine. At the performance, the performers made a special tribute to their ex-president who passed away. And something they said really hit me. One of the performers said: "As a performer, I think the way he will want to be remembered is not though a minute of silence, but a standing ovalation.". It was a beautiful tribute to a wonderful person.

What happened that night started to make me think... how will Starlight like to be remembered? One thing I know for sure, is she will like to be remembered. She will like to be loved. But how does she hope to be remembered exactly? I realise I don't know her favorite colour, her favorite song, her favorite book... There are so many things I don't know about her... somehow, I feel that my lack of knowledge had crippled me to remember her as well as I hope I can remember her.

I've been acting pretty childishly recently towards some people... not a way I will like to have behaved... but very often, the espoused theory and the theory-in-action differs greatly.
