#OTD in 1996, Carl Sagan died: 27 years without Carl

«When my husband died, because he was so famous and known for not being a believer, many people would come up to me ― it still sometimes happens ― and ask me if Carl changed at the end and converted to a belief in an afterlife.

They also frequently ask me if I think I will see him again. Carl faced his death with unflagging courage and never sought refuge in illusions. The tragedy was that we knew we would never see each other again. I don't ever expect to be reunited with Carl.

But, the great thing is that when we were together, for nearly twenty years, we lived with a vivid appreciation of how brief and precious life is. We never trivialized the meaning of death by pretending it was anything other than a final parting.

Every single moment that we were alive and we were together was miraculous-not miraculous in the sense of inexplicable or supernatural. We knew we were beneficiaries of chance.

That pure chance could be so generous and so kind. That we could find each other, as Carl wrote so beautifully in Cosmos, you know, in the vastness of space and the immensity of time. That we could be together for twenty years. That is something which sustains me and it’s much more meaningful.

The way he treated me and the way I treated him, the way we took care of each other and our family, while he lived. That is so much more important than the idea I will see him someday. I don't think I'll ever see Carl again. But I saw him. We saw each other. We found each other in the cosmos, and that was wonderful».

Very rare, I've given a little up-scale & polish to what I believe are the only colour photos of Laurel & Hardy taken in the 1930s. They were snapped by Daily News photographer Harry Warnecke in 1938, during the shooting of their movie 'Block-Heads'. These are not colourised

I want to help @AberdeenFC. Want to buy a season ticket but can't get to many games

So, instead I'd like to offer to buy a season ticket for an Dons supporting NHS worker

Send me anyone you know who might benefit from this & I'll pick someone on Sat 18th #StillStandingFree
