| Remarks | It seems something spectacular happens on the rare occasions when my daughter and I get a moment to spend looking up at the stars. Having witnessed some of the most beautiful shooting stars I've ever seen, what happened in the sky last night was like nothing I have ever seen before. There was a bright flash of light above us. The moment I looked up, it was like a star had an exploded sending a white trail trail of smoke outwards from the middle. It was a moment she and I will never forget. I am so lucky and will cherish that moment with my daughter forever. |
