Thoughtful message

Last week as I took my seat on the bus, I couldn't help but notice in front of me a middle aged man talking to an elderly man. The elderly man was deeply sympathetic towards this man, not dare interrupting a word he said. He just sat there and listened.
The middle aged man looked in a state of crisis, fighting hard to keep the tears from spilling down his cheeks.
It was when the elderly man stood to his feet when the bus had finally reached his stop that they said their good-byes. Before he left, he turned and said, 'You will live as long as you want, as long as you want as long you will live.'

The comment must have hit home with me, as the message has implanted itself within my soul.
