Recently a long time friend sent out a group email with a poem about how fast life goes by. Not sure I’m really thankful for that reminder.
When we were in high school life stretched out forever. Yet, now in the blink of an eye many of our friends are retired.
The endless days of raising kids somehow turned into having grand kids for many.
Most of us have lost parents and some siblings and friends.
And I stop and wonder sometimes, “Where did the time go? How did it go by so quickly?”
I find we all deal with it in a variety of ways.
Some speed up activities. If they just stay busy enough they avoid thinking about it.
Others seem to deny it hoping it’ll all go away, I guess.
Yet, for all of us when we lose another loved one we stand face to face with our own mortality and how brief this life really is.
