Here is something which popped in my mind..
We have heard of counting your age by the number of friends you have.I was thinking along those lines when it struck me what if we valued our lives by the number of people who would truly miss us when we were dead and gone. I dont mean the people who remember us on our birthdays and death anniversaries. I figured I, for one, dont think I'v made an impact like that on many people.I dont mean they have to remember, sit and cry day in and day out. I would prefer if people smile when they remember me. People who remember the little things Iv done. I am not saying I wouldnt want them to move on.I really do. What I meant by people who truly miss me I mean those in whose memories i hold a place as long as they have their memory.
If I think seriously and honestly, I suppose(ie to the best of my knowledge) Iv got around 4 people who would truly remember me, smile, shed a few tears, really miss me when Im dead and gone.
Not bad eh?
How many you have? 
well.. perhaps you could read: "Who will cry when you die."
As for the remembrance, I must emphasize the point you mentioned.. it's the number of near and dear you have!
I've got 5!
Not bad eh? I guess give you another 5 years, you'll get 5 too!
