For you to be surprised that a high school friend recently became a grandmother indicates that you view your high school graduation as a fairly recent event.
The fact is that time has a way of going by rapidly, and it never stops for anyone or anything. We live on earth for a relatively short time. This is another reason we should live a Christian life on earth, since doing so will help us to enjoy an Eternal Life in Heaven.
Prayer, together with almsgiving can furnish us with countless good things from above. They can quench the fire of sin in our souls and can give us great freedom. Cornelius had recourse to these two virtues and sent his prayers up to heaven. Because of these two virtues he heard the angel say: “Thy prayers and they alms have gone up and been remembered in the sight of God.” (Acts 10:4)

I'm not actually surprised. I just had one of those moments when I became particularly aware of the passage of time.
