This submission was GREAT, but longish-- almost the whole story-- but I trimmed it to this wonderful concluding verse--Donna Farley)

Here's a quote from a Debi Gliori picture book, she writes and illustrates and is based in Edinburgh - my hero!

"No Matter What" by Debi Gliori

'Small, look at the stars - how they shine and glow, but some of those stars died a long time ago.

still they shine in the evening skies

love, like starlight, never dies.'

Makes me well up, every - single - time. :-)
