Yet it keeps happening in so many lives. Maybe it should be played more for every generation to remind them to enjoy what they have while they can. People do grow so fast when life is taking its toll. Enjoy your kids and enjoy your elders. Just stop and talk or do something even if for a few minutes

It really is one of the saddest things. I heard the original when I was starting college and it took a few times to really realize the wake-up call that it is. Despite that, 40+ years later turns out I still ended up alone. Fortunately, I had no kids but I often feel bad that I sometimes didn't pay enough attention to my dogs. Habits and what one learns in one's upbringing are hard to break.
