If one chose to look up into the night sky recently, they would have seen amongst millions of stars a spectacle so amazing that all else paled by comparison ... A brilliance that awed those for- tunate enough to gaze upon its beauty. Alone in its journey, seemingly lost and seaching for a home, like a frightened child turning another corner in a city of indistinguishable neon lights. And only after gauging your own mortality with the significance of the event, do you then realize its purpose. Sent by God to bring
together otherwise separated family and friends. And upon accomplishing this, has found a home. Yet all who looked could not have seen what I had seen, for I speak not of a comet, but my sister, who will be forever loved and missed. And unlike a comet, need not return, because she will stay with us in our hearts, always. Signed, D. Jones
