I could feel time in her skin.
It was soft and dry and thin like the skeleton of a leaf half decayed.
It told me of days and months and years that had all passed. It told me that more had passed than would come.
It told me to hold her close and treasure her.
Beautiful. . .

So from realizing how the aging process can’t be reversed, hopefully, you will come to cherish the time you have, with those whom you loves, as well as those who love you too.
