Legacy - What is Yours?
By Michael J Griffin
As I watched the 45th American President leave the White House, the word "Legacy" popped in my head.
A legacy is the impact of the person that lives on long after that person has passed have passed away. A legacy also leaves behind the story, the values, and the influence of a person that now lives through others. Legacies are important pathways in the future for others to make decisions to lead a better life.
