Everything we do, see, touch, taste, hear, feel … these experiences, without fail, will be the last we shall ever have.

Today’s sunset may be the last you set your eyes upon.
The smell of fresh laundry may be the last.
The crisp taste of an apple may be the last.
The sweet embrace of your lover may be the last.
The soft kiss on your child’s forehead may be the last.
The soothing music of your favorite artist may be the last.
The worn book you’ve just finished may be the last.

Do not take these experiences for granted. Only to the extent that we regard each experience as our potential last, do we allow ourselves to truly appreciate all that we really have.

One of these days, there will be a last. A last of everything.
