This is an interesting topic for me. I don't have children and therefore no future grandchildren. I am an only one too so no extended family. The unconventional part of me would happily disappear without leaving a trace and I've started Swedish death decluttering. But ... another part of me contemplates how I could leave a mark. What difference could I make? What impact do I have on people? Something I read recently prompted me to think about legacy, what that might look like, and slightly related, how well I have lived. Could I create an unconventional legacy - make a mark but not in the usual way?
1. Plant trees
I've always loved trees. I have planted trees in a park in Manchester. I used to go and visit them. A tree leaves a mark but, without fanfare. I like that.
