Harry sat leaning back and looking at the beautiful display floating over their heads as the lecturer spoke and Harry whispered, "Isn't that frightening and gorgeous?"
James nodded and murmured. "Yeah."
"What do you think happens to the dead?" he asked softly, "I'd like to think Mum's a star, she's just too far away to see yet. And some day my grandkids will make a wish on her."
"That's lovely. Are you alright?" asked James resting his arm over the boy's shoulder and along the back of his seat.
Harry nodded but could feel tears running down the back of his throat. Staring at the stars he said, "I feel really safe here. Thank you."
"Harry, stop thanking me." James squeezed his shoulder and fell back into silence to listen to the lecturer.
A star shot across the sky and Harry said, "Hey, Mum."
After the lecture Harry and his father thanked the speaker even though they hadn't paid much attention to him but had focused on the amazing planetarium they'd been inside.
