Why do I post this?
Next year & then every year after, this status will appear in my Facebook memories feed.
And it will be an annual reminder that life is precious & that nothing should be taken for granted. We are where we are with what we have. Let's be grateful.
This text is anonymous, it's not mine, but I copied because I want to remember it too.
Stay safe and healthy…!
