What will I be remembered for

The essence of living,I sometimes question when someone so young dies.Two weeks ago a very dear friend to my cousin Taye Paul Mayaki died and it seemed like a dream cos he was so full of life. Everyone have been saying too many nice things about him when he was alive as been funny,caring and great guy with good fashion sense
The question was "What killed him?".
I was told he died of Hepatitis.

Yesterday I lost another young friend Oluchi,she was so full of life although she knew she would die because she was diagnosed of having a heart defect.
She wanted to acheive and give so much before leaving this world,and as such she occupied herself with so much activity,that you will never know she was suffering from something that could take her life so soon.She woke up monday morning and discovered he heart could no longer carry her for the days activity,and by afternoon she could not continue the struggle to stay alive,she had to go to meet her creator.

What then is the Essence of Living?
What is the essence of struggling to survive,to keep body and soul together?
What is the essence of acquiring and acquiring material properties that we will no longer have use of when we breath our last?
Why are we not satisfied with what we already have,making too many enemies over what is vain?
Why are we greedy,and envious over what others have?
I have asked myself so many questions since their deaths and one last thing I asked my self is.

WHAT WILL I BE REMEMBERED FOR WHEN I PASS ON?
