Life is about Keys

I've always thought that life is all about keys.
Think about it for a moment.

The first key you get is your front door key, you'r 14. Mum gives you a key to the front door in case you come home from school and she's not there.

Your life adventure has now begun. You are a key holder!

At 18 you get a job, this comes with a locker key for your personal bits and pieces or maybe a key to your desk.

At 19 you get your first car and yes, a key. Your growing up fast, you now have a few keys.

At 20 you move into a flat and share with some mates, another key.

At 22 you meet a girl and fall in love, she gives you a key to her flat.

At 25 you get married and buy your first property, more keys.

At 35 you get promotion at work, this comes with more keys and more responsibility. Promotion comes with more money and you buy a second car.

You are now at your peak, because you have a "Bunch of Keys".This is a turning point in your life. Its unlikely that you will increase your number of keys, from now on the bunch can only get smaller.

At 40 your son or daughter asks for a front door key, you are now a key giver! You are changing their lives forever.

At 45 you are made redundant from work, keys are given back.

At 50 you go through a painful divorce, more keys are lost.

At 60 you are living in a nice 2 bed flat, but it only has one key.

At 70 your eyes aren't great and you decide not to drive anymore, another key is gone.

At 80 you can't look after yourself anymore and the kids put you in a home.

All your keys have gone. You have no more keys and no responsibility.

As I said before, life is all about keys!
