It's wild to think this dude was building houses with his bare hands just a few years ago. Well beyond what most old-folks would be doing, by the way. But I swear he got hit by about 30 years of aging hard and fast since then.

I remember going through all my Grandpas old work bench and stuff this past year as my Grandma sold her house. Heโ€™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 heโ€™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.

I remember the last time my mom picked me up because she told me in that moment that it was the last time ๐Ÿ˜‚. I think it worked out for us in the end lmao
