If you could leave a legacy for your family what would it be?

What is your first memory of home?
I was almost 2 when my sister was born. When my parents brought her home, they were all smiles and excited for me to meet her for the 1st time. I climbed up onto a chair and looked at her in her bassinet. She scrunched up her face and started crying. She scare me so badly, I hid behind the couch.
