She could be a Mary Baker Eddy.
What is “Greatness?” That ones name be remembered? Then carve it in thirty-meter-high letters upon some national monument, and you will be known as the Great Defacer. Is this not “Greatness?”
Or, would it be enough if, standing over your grave years hence, your child said of you, “He was a great father, always providing for us, always encouraging me”?
“Greatness” needn’t be famous, nor mighty; greatness can be found in even the most mundane life.
She’s got me.
999,998 more to go that I know of.
I’m in! 999,997.
Neat, let’s see how far down we can get that number to go.
Count me as 999,996.
This is the worst idea ever.
…I’m 999,995
999,994!
I’m in
999,994
999,993
I like being in the middle, 20 I’m 543,210. No? OK, I’m 999,992.
I have no clue where that 20 came from, it should have been “so”.
All hail the cult of Millie! 999,991
At least I am a base 10 round number: 999,990.
999,989. This is going WAY too slow.
Takes me a while to work my way back around, but 4 years seems far too long — may have missed reading the comments here last time through. 999,988!
Yup, four years is 2x longer than my cycle time.
I’d like to brush Millie’s head, fur and tail. Make it all nice and shiny. Does that make me Follower 999,987 ?
I shall be 999,986.
Then I’ll be 999,985
I was mistaken. 999,984
I’m 999,983
