Time My husband received this poster in the mail: A 90-Year Human Life in Weeks My heart pounded, panic gripped me. I found my age, looked at how many boxes were left and told myself to breathe! The poster represented how I’ve felt since I was a teen. Time passing day by day. Now here it was right in front of me little boxes, a chart, showing how much time I’d have if I was lucky enough to live to ninety.
