I'm still here...I'm still here?...I'm still here! It's all in the way you say it, think it, feel it.I'm pushing 60 hard, it's only a few turns on the wheel away and funny thing is, I really never thought of being there...how odd.My thoughts were never of what would happen when I got old; the kids left home; I was a grandmom; losing my parents or husband...it just didn't seem like it would ever happen. It never occurred to me that time would run out, years would turn into months. The sands of…See More

He then asked the students, if the jar was full.
