Fare thee well, Gram. Video: Images from NASA, both of Earth and our solar system, set to the song "Sailing to Byzantium" by Lisa Gerrard

Almost 24 hours ago to the minute, my grandmother passed away after a difficult time with pancreatic cancer. I am glad she is not still suffering, and my best wishes sincerely go out to all who continue to suffer from illness, and the loved ones who suffer with them.

I was watching this video around the time she passed on, and I think it is a lovely metaphor for the journey I wish her well on. Gorgeous images from NASA that show the splendor of the solar system, Earth, and what it looks like to gaze at the stars once freed from the gravitational pull of our beautiful world. Fare thee well, Gram.
