Posted January 25, 2017 "Being the last man standing is no triumph." - Liam Clancy - He said this in reference to his brothers & Tommy Makem having all died, and the loneliness he felt from being the last one left alive. - It reminds me of the very last time I saw my grandparents alive; they showed me a slideshow of their life together, spanning over 50 years. I was surprised by the amount of friends and companions they had throughout their lives and travels, but the reoccurring theme was that everyone of them had died already. Until then, I'd never considered my grandparents or anyone their age to have so many memories of being once young with a big group of friends and neighbors who they shared their life with. This is a quote regarding a stage of life I cannot fully comprehend or appreciate, but one I will never forget. It also reminds me of all the bloody corner campers on fps' but nvm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
