How peaceful is a night of star gazing? Little sparkles of light. Friends of the moon. Another marvelous wonder to look at. I read on another blog that there will be a blood moon soon. Actually, I just looked it up and it should be on October 7th or 8th. I don't recall seeing a blood moon. Sounds like a perfect night to get my camera out. I don't think I've taken it out since we lost Preston. All the pictures I've shared were either taken with my phone or pictures I already had taken. Sounds silly that I haven't touched my camera right? Last picture I took with it was of my son. I haven't really wanted to use it since, but there is so much beauty to be captured out there. I've been thinking about taking an online class on how to take better pictures, or something like that. I see so many beautiful pictures taken by friends. I wish I could take some breathlessly dazzling pictures.
I read this quote one night when I was first grieving. Somehow reading quotes about infant loss and grief was helpful even though it was awfully painful to read. This one stuck with me:
This quote has stayed with me since those first couple weeks, and while I don't gaze at the stars often, while I know it isn't true thanks to science. While I can't fathom there's any truth in this hopeful quote, it provides comfort nonetheless and I just can't help thinking Preston is giving me a smile when I see the shiniest of stars in the night sky.Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy
