Tomorrow brings the final decision. Though I am relieved to be effectively ‘retired’ from this adventure, I do not relish that which will be my final act: to make three people exceptionally happy, and three others equally unhappy. All of them are great people and I have been glad to work with them throughout the entire process.
Though it does not affect me directly, it is still an emotional thing. This marks the point where I no longer have any direct control over the content of my legacy. These three talented people will carry it on in their actions in the coming years. I can only hope that they will count me among those who inspired them to do greater things.
It’s funny, talking about my own legacy. I don’t believe I’ve ever left anything that can be significantly referred to as a ‘legacy’. Most people go through countless years of life before they can truthfully claim to have ‘left something behind for those that follow’. A lot of this is egotistical nonsense, but it still rings of truth. I have never been a part of something so much bigger than myself and truly hope that I have left it positively imprinted.
