About This Quote
She simply clutched my hand and exhaled. She knew I was watching and, as we stood together, she gave me a last kiss. She was right. After sixty-one years together, she simply clutched my hand and exhaled.
It was time for her to go. It is time for all of us to go. The end of life is inevitable.
We are not guaranteed tomorrow, but our lives are. We must make the most out of every day, every second of every moment. We must make them count.
