Lifes gifts are fading away...

It seems as we mature the gifts that we have gathered along our journey get fewer and fewer. I have gotten to the point where some gifts are being taken from me. I am sure I will gather a few more along the road of life but they are becoming less frequent although they are more appreciated than ever. I recently noticed that truly dear gifts are fading away or simply being ripped out of my life. I am sure that most that read this will understand. The truly irreplaceable gifts have been friends and family that I have had in my life.
