Todo por servir, se acaba.

Everything that is useful, will wear out.

My mom used that saying quite a bit, about material things and about people.

It's a simple lament about something that you use or depend on finally wearing out.

It's also a little salute as to how useful that item or person was in your life.

We get a little flustered, lost and then we get our bearings back and breathe again.
