Michael: There's an e-mail from Mom! Gram is much better. She's in a semi-private room, now - an' they make her walk every day! Elizabeth: Boy, that was a close call. Every time she goes into the hospital, you kind of, you know - think it's "the end." Michael: Yeah. But, maybe it's not her time, Liz. Maybe we all have a certain number of days on Earth, an' we have to stay until the very last one! Elizabeth: ...Maybe. But, if that's the case, I wonder why some people have too few days, an' other people seem to have too many!!
The clock is ticking the moment you are conceived. Nobody can live forever – think of the number of candles you’d need on your birthday cake!
