I wish I had words to help but I don't.
So many people wish for a long life, but that too can be a curse.
A double-edged sword.
It reminds me of a quote from the movie "the green mile":
Quote:
|
Oh I've lived to see some amazing things Elly. Another century come to past, but I've... I've had to see my friends and loved ones die off through the years... Hal and Melinda... Brutus Howell... my wife... my boy. And you Elaine... you'll die too, and my curse is knowing that I'll be there to see it. It's my attonement you see; it's my punishment, for letting John Coffey ride the lightning; for killing a miracle of God. You'll be gone like all the others. I'll have to stay. Oh, I'll die eventually, that I'm sure. I have no illusions of immortality, but I will wish for death... long before death finds me. In truth, I wish for it already.
