Each day a gift

As a nurse, I have the honor and privilege of caring for patients at the end of their lives here on earth. They are ill and they know that there may be only days or weeks left.
As I was driving home after working with these folks, I thought to myself, "I am so fortunate because I wake up every day healthy. I wonder what it would be like to know every day when you awaken that your days here are limited."
And then I realized that like them, mine are as well.
