Benjamin Franklin once said, “In this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.” Whether he was the first to say it or not, is debatable, but what isn't debatable is death. One day it will come for us all and we will have to answer it's call. When we die, a dash separates the dates between when we were born and when we passed.
