I might be repeating myself but years ago a fellow at work was closing in on retiring , I mentioned he was " too young " early sixties . He asked if I ever saw the " Tale of the tape " , He held a tape measure in his hand , he started pulling it out as I answered him , " every year is an inch ", he started asking me questions , how old was I when I graduated HS 18" , met my wife , 19" got married 25" first child 30" , second at 34" on and on until my current age , around 57" , " Look at how much time has past ,, then he said the average man lives to 78 , he held his finger at 57" then pulled it out to 78" He said " that's about how much time you have left " . Quite an eye opener !!!! . Enjoy as much time as you can with loved ones in this life ,, like the OP " the sands of time are running out"
