Like, anything specifically, but just responsible, loving, obviously caring, compassionate, God-fearing, oldest daughter. Great mom, great friend, great daughter. Okay, how would you like your siblings to remember you? Well, let's go with the first five. How would you like? Not like the sister that would kill them while babysitting. Not that super bossy, mean sister. Not the bossy, mean sister, that would be like, I'm telling mom and dad when they get home. Yep, and trying to kill you, because you weren't listening. Yeah, not that one. Probably just like, super supportive and caring, and like, just a good role model. Good, like supportive, yeah. How would you like Wyatt to remember you? Obviously, as a best friend, lover, a fighter, not in like a bad way, in like a strength. Like, I'm gonna fight for this. A great mom, great friend, great wife, supporter, loving, kind of the same three words, like super loving, supportive, yeah. What about Xander? Who would Xander to remember you? I want him to remember me as a confident, self-assured, God-fearing, supportive, loving, those words again. Just great role model in his life. Like, I really want to influence how he grows up. And I think the confident and the self-assurance, like I really want him to find a woman like that when he decides to marry. Like, I want him to be able to have someone that will support him and make him better, and make him stronger, and be that person for him again.
