Hi there – are you the originator of this phrase: Be the things you loved most about the people who are gone? If not, do you know who is? I like to attribute things accurately if I share. Thanks!

Hi Wendy,

I include attribution whenever I have that info (whether it’s my name or someone else’s). In this case, the author is unknown. If you find an author, please let me know. I also like to attribute things accurately when I share them!

Thanks so much! Indeed it is. I try to do this with my grandmother. I didn’t realize how much I admired her till she was gone. Now I try to live like her every day.
