TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE

This was shared by a man name Skidrow in one of the yahoogroups I joined. If I can remember that was in the year 2005. Here it goes:

This friend of mine had a kid… and it was a home birth, and so he was there helping out with everything. And he said that...at this profound moment of birth…as he was watching his child experiencing life for the first time…trying to take his first breath…all he could think about is that he is looking at something that’s going to die someday. And he just cldn’t gets it out of his head. And I guess it’s so true… everything is so finite. But don’t you think that’s what makes our time and specific moments so important?
