Summary

This quote highlights the inevitability of change and the passage of time in life. As we journey through life, the road becomes unfamiliar with the presence of new and unfamiliar faces. However, as we reach the end of our journey, the people we once knew eventually turn into memories memorialized by tombstones. Each milestone signifies not only a personal accomplishment but also represents the loss of a friend or loved one. It reminds us that life is transient, and along the way, we form deep connections with those who ultimately become a part of our past.
