Seeing Stars

My Husband made me see stars last weekend. He does it a lot, part of the magic which makes up our relationship, and one of the many reasons that I absolutely love and adore him.

Actually, he made it possible for me to see stars. He gifted me with a wonderful pair of light gathering binoculars and we went to The Black Mesa. It has, I've been told, the darkest night sky in America. 

No, I couldn't see many, none were clear. They were there, right in front of me, and I saw some of them!

It has been almost 3 years since the last time I saw any. It's one of the things about this disease which bothers me the most. Stargazing is something which I truly adore and have done all of my life. Relaxing on a blanket with a cool beverage on a clear night was something that made a busy life worthwhile.

Seeing stars was a gift. I had thought that I would never see them again. This was one of the very best gifts I have ever received. 

Thank you Darling, I love you.
