I couldn't resist responding to this one. It made me think of the beautiful song penned by John Denver (sung on the Muppet show), "When the River meets the Sea."
We all are headed in the same direction and it's the milestones of life that make us realize how fragile life is. I love the second verse of this song:
"Like a baby when it's sleeping, in it's loving mother's arms; what a newborn baby dreams is a mystery; but his (or her) life will find a purpose and in time he'll understand; when the river meets the sea."
Cherish the moments.
