Surely, if my parents and older brother were awake now, that would mean that they would have remembered such an important date and, as soon as they saw me, congratulate me on living another year? Adele Rose, Awakening.

About This Quote

The fact that you are alive and living is a very special thing that no one is entitled to. You have done nothing wrong to deserve your existence and you should never take it for granted. Yet, we do this all the time and it is a huge mistake. Your existence is so precious and we must never forget it or take it for granted.

We all know someone who has died unexpectedly, and we need to remember that they might have lived another year if they had been given the opportunity. We also need to remember that some people might die as a result of their own actions or even as a result of an accident. That’s why we must respect life and not take chances with its preciousness.
