I think someone shot my lucky star outta the sky too, mike! ;)

a wonderfully crafted piece ... and something I think most can relate to - we've all got our wishes and dreams ... and I've been known to "wish on a star" ... but such a twist in your ending ... talk about impact! whew! I saw this also as the star being a metaphor ... for something ... or someone ... great job, mike ...
"Each smallest act of kindness reverberates across great spans of time, affecting lives unknown to the one whose generous spirit was the source of this good echo, because kindness is passed on and grows each time it's passed, until a simple courtesy becomes an act of selfless courage years later and far away. Likewise ... each small meanness, each expression of hatred ... each act of evil." "The Momentuous Day" H.R. White
