Forgot to live

First I was dying to finish college and to start working.

Then I was dying to get married to have children.

And then I was dying for my children to grow up

so that I could go back to work.

And then I was dying to retire so that I might finally do

all the things I had always wanted to do.

And now I am retired and I am dying…

and suddenly I realize that I forgot to live.
