I think it speaks volumes that you are think about how you would treat others in times of illness, that's already the best way to learn how to be mindful for the time it may happen...You are wonderfully showing how to be a more than decent human being. You have patience and kindness by the bucket-folds!!!
I'm not too sure what legacy I aim for --and I don't really fear death nor pain. I think I just want to make sure those who remain behind have fulfilling lives...I dream/think often of starting an organization or something that gives back to community or serves the weak/down-trodden. You gave me something to think about! ;-)
