after reading my friend karensky's blog it made me think back to something that happened to me a long time ago. i guess i had pushed away the memories to the dark recesses of my brain for much too long...

  when i was 13 i was so captivated by the stars and constellations. i checked out every book i could find on constellations from the library and used to lie outside gazing up into the night sky and try to name them all. i begged my parents for a telescope so that i may see the planets up close. we weren't wealthy by any means and could little afford such luxuries but somehow me mum was able to buy me a small one. she didnt know the differences between telescopes and bought me one that was used for looking at earthbound stuff rather than the stars. i didnt care about it cause i still got my own little telescope. you can imagaine how excited i was when i first took it out to look at the moon. even though it didnt bring the moon very close to me... i was lost in time as i gazed at every feature of it for many hours. i dont know what happened to that little telescope. i wish i still had it to remind me of the love my mother once had shown me.

 have a wonderful night everyone.
