Me and my dad have discussed that very idea
Which is why I'm currently keeping alive stories and memories of people who died before I was born, and my cousins have no recollection of. I don't want them to fade away and not matter.
Like my grandad's uncle who always wore a white silk scarf and dragged a fish on a string to attract cats.
Or the lady whose pearls I'm wearing today, who once got felt up in a motor-car by a young Laurence Olivier.

nah
I'm just going to keep telling the stories until I die, and maybe someone will occasionally tell them after I die. And then I've messed things up, and these insignificant people will still be 'alive' long after people usually 'die'.
