The thing is, you won’t even know it’s the last time, until there are no more times. Even then, it will take you a while to realize. Because we don’t know when we will die. So while you are living in these times, remember there are only so many of them and when they are gone, you will yearn for just one more day of them. For one last time.
How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can’t even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.
