I have long felt that the circle of life is too fast and sometimes you think, what is it all for? I just don't want to leave my grandchildren, or my children, I want to see all their achievements and be there for them. I don't mind if I just have to sit in a chair and be an observer, at least I will still see them and they would see me. How can we reconcile the fact that we leave them, even though we really want to stay here, and not die? I can get so bogged down in this, it affects my moods, but I can't shake it off some days. Other days I have to tell myself to snap out of it, because there is no answer. I try to find joy in day to day things, but in the end, we are all just pictures in a frame.
