"A few years ago I was going to be out of town for a few days andwanted to do something that would help Athena remember me while Iwas away. I came up with the idea of sleeping under the stars. No, we did not sleep outside. Instead, I brought the stars inside.I went to a toy store and bought a package of glow-in-the-darkstar stickers. There were several dozen if not a hundred or sostars in the package. When my wife was out running some errands,I stood on our bed and arranged the stars on our bedroom ceiling.It would work by putting them on a mobile too. That night I turned on all the lights in the bedroom for an hour orso before we were going to sleep. The glow in the dark chemicalsin the stars need light to energize. When we finally laid down to go to sleep, I turned off the lightand my wife looked up to see the whole ceiling aglow. She wasamazed at the spectacle. I told her that whenever she looksat the ceiling at night while I am gone she will think of me.I came back from my trip and the stars were still up. In fact,we kept them up for a few months. It's fun sleeping under the stars."
