Because you won’t miss it

I had a friend who worked for the same company all his life.

He loved his job more than anyone I’ve ever known.

In his early forties, he discovered that he had Stage IV cancer.

Even through the worst of the chemotherapy, he went on working at the job he loved.

Even well into his final decline, he wouldn’t give it up.

At last he was too weak to work.

When he told me that he had finally quit his job, I was astonished to hear him say:

“I don’t miss it at all”
