[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still feel sad that there won't be anyone else to carry the torch. [/quote] There are many other ways of carrying the torch. I'm thinking of a dear teacher, who was herself adopted, then had no children herself. She was an amazing person, and she has hundreds of former students who carry a piece of her inside them, which they share with the world. She died over 10 years ago, and people still post her photos on facebook and talk about her influence in their lives. Her genes may not have been carried on to the next generation, but her spirit sure was. Find meaningful ways to carry on your mom's legacy (and that of her family). Right down your memories of them, the stories they told. Make sure you have their photos organized and backed up. Teach your kids to do the sorts of things they loved to do--cooking? carpentry? embroidery? hiking?--and remember them together. Think about heritage more broadly than just genetics.[/quote]
