My Birthday or my End of life Day

The BIG 40 came to me out of nowhere. Or at least it seemed that way. My kids gave me a birthday card in the morning that said "Be Glad you are 40, cause in ten years, you will wish you were" How is it that my two babies would come up with something like that? They knew, everybody knew that it was a very difficult birthday for me. What they didnt know was that long ago, in, what seemed like, another life, I declared that "If I die when I am 40, my life would be complete!" I just didnt remember saying that because it was a long long long time ago. However, someone, somewhere, knew, someone was listening, and carrying out my plan as if it were written in stone. But the fact is that, nothing is written in stone, and everything is written in stone.
