Worth missing
Did you create specific value, or just occupy a slot?
Did you solve a problem your way, or follow the script?
Did anyone change their behavior because you were there?
Did anything depend on you?
Did you ever take a stand that cost you something?
Did you ever make a decision that couldn’t be undone quietly?
Did you ever put judgment, taste, or care on the line— knowing it might not work?
Being missed is a side effect of having risked something.
