80

We celebrated my father in law's 80th birthday today. 

Had a marvellous meal in the Carpenter's Arms near Hadlow.

Amazed at how much time had gone by and also how some who were not at the table as they had passed on.

Time. What a thing. Waits for no one and just keeps going. However as a captain of the Enterprise comments:

"Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives...

... but I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment because they'll never come again. 

What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived. 

After all ... we're only mortal."

Happy 80th Dad.
