One of my favorite hobbies would be star-gazing. (*^_^*)

Who would like to join me? (=゚ω゚)ノ

Would you like to know why I have 'star' in my name?

I like stars--that's one of the reasons why.

But I loved stars because.....

There was a night....where I was crying....really hard.

I almost never cry....

But I always cry...when I feel like I've let someone down.

My family was in the car with me; I was crying silently so they wouldn't notice.

We were parked so we could drop off our grandpa at his house.

I stayed in the car as the rest went out.

I was glad they didn't notice--I didn't want to make them worried.

But then my car door open.

I shied away slightly.

My dad was standing there.

He studied my expression briefly.

I could tell he wanted to ask me what was wrong;  I really didn't want to say anything because my throat was just clogged up. 

I wiped my eyes and tried hard to smile.

I really couldn't.

"Hey...do you want to go outside and look at the stars?"

The question threw me off slightly and I looked up at him.

And my dad smiled, that cute little smile of his.  His 'Dad' smile only meant for his daughters.

I quirked a small, weak smile.

I replied with a soft and shaky voice.

"...Okay."

I stepped out of the car.

I looked up at the sky...and my tears slowly dried up.

Maybe....my tears of sorrow went up into the sky.....and became lights of warmth and comfort.

I've never seen the stars glow that brightly, nor have I seen that many.

I felt my dad give me a one-armed hug.

"Feeling better?"

I sniffled and smiled at him.

"Heh.....sure."
