The teacher who got to see the eclipse with me the other night just came in and thanked me for bringing her out to see it. The eclipse had slipped her mind because her mom had died a few hours before (I was unaware of this at the time). That's not quite as shocking as it sounds though. Her mom was quite elderly and in poor health, but expected or not, the death of a mom is never something easily shrugged off, so the eclipse-viewing provided her with an island of tranquility in the midst of an otherwise restless night.
Here's a song for those of us who find ourselves motherless, posted by Greg from one of his Thomas Carnacki performances, and featuring Dawn McCarthy on vocals. This was recorded the month after our own mother passed away.
