About This Quote
Perhaps life is like an hourglass, with dear ones the sand that slips from the upper glass—the earth—into the second—eternity. When someone uses this saying, they are speaking of how precious life is. Death is always in the back of their mind. They are scared to lose someone they love, but most importantly they know that if you truly love someone then it’s worth it to fight for them through anything.
