I got this in an email a while back and I feel it fits perfectly in the “Chizuk” thread:
“First I was dying to finish high school and start college.
And then I was dying to finish college and start working.
And then I was dying to marry and have children.
And then I was dying for my kids to grow up.
And then I was dying to retire.
And now, I am dying. And I suddenly realize- I forgot to LIVE.”
