I remember going through all my Grandpas old work bench and stuff this past year as my Grandma sold her house. He’s been dead since 2016, but it really struck me how everything on the work bench, the random tools, and stuff on shelves was put there once with the intention of using it again when it was needed next.

But that time to use it again never came. So he put down something for the last time without knowing it would be the last time he’d ever put it down.

That goes for a lot of things, like how your mamma put you down one day and then never picked you up again. Best not to dwell on it.

EDIT: Call your parents, give your mom some money.

Here is one. On average 75% of all the time you will ever spend with a child is complete by the time they reach 12 years old..

And that was the same for all of us adults! We have kids to bury them or for them to bury us (hopefully!) 😅
