Summary

This quote suggests that as we navigate through life, we encounter unfamiliar faces and experiences. As we near the end of our journey, these unfamiliar faces become familiar, symbolized by the transformation of milestone markers into headstones.

This quote highlights the cyclical nature of life and the importance of valuing and appreciating the relationships we form throughout our journey.
