Now this is a movie. Exceptional plot. The concept of it all.❤
During his birthday toast, William Parrish said, “I’m going to break the precedent and tell you my one candle wish, that you would have a life as lucky as mine when you can wake up one morning and say, ‘I don’t want anything more".
When it was time to go, William asked Death, “Should I be afraid?”
Death answered him, “Not a man like you”.
How many of us can that be said of us.
So many people die, afraid of what comes next cause they weren’t prepared. T
hat man, JOE BLACK, sooner or later, we all get to meet him.
The question is, how prepared are you?
Life’s too short, enjoy it but what about eternity is too long, prepare for it.
