Maybe not what you're looking for, but my children.
I have a lot of hobbies and try to contribute what I can with my skill set. But I'm honest with myself. Nothing meaningful I create in the digital form will outlive me so I'm never overly attached. I've also lived long enough to see my interests change drastically that I am confident I won't have the same interests in 5, 10, 20 years (nor would I want to)
However with children I hope to serve as an influence and guide for my entire life.

When I am long gone, my kids and grandkids and the guidance I provided them will be my legacy. Frankly it’s my hope that my career accomplishments are not even mentioned the minute after I walk out the proverbial door as a retiree let alone in my eulogy.
