When I was 18 years old, a team of medical professionals told me that I would be lucky to live to see my 30th birthday. It took me six years to process that information and come up with an outlook on life that I would later come to call the Mortality Mindset. As I mentioned in my book, while I was coming to terms with the prognosis one of the toughest things I struggled with, was the realization that I would never have kids (and would likely never get married - who would want to say “I do” to a ticking time-bomb?).
No question that time flies and our children become adults much before we are ever ready for it. I chuckle when I read again, past you expiration date. It is a reminder to treat every day as a blessing, and never take any time for granted. Sorry to hear about your daughter. Hope all is ok now.
