A poignant short story written in the late 19th century. It is a reflective piece that embodies themes of love, loss, and spiritual connection, exploring the bond between siblings and the concept of an afterlife. This narrative captures the imagination with its ethereal qualities and deep emotional resonance. The story follows a child who shares a close relationship with his sister, with both captivated by the beauty of the world around them and a particular star that shines brightly in the night sky. As they grow, the sister falls ill and eventually passes away, leading the child to dream of a mystical star that serves as a gateway to the afterlife. Throughout his life, he experiences further losses, including that of his mother and daughter, but each time he dreams of the star and the angels that await them. In the end, as the child grows into an old man, he reflects on his life, recognizing the star as a symbol of reunion with his loved ones in the celestial realm, ultimately finding peace as he approaches the end of his earthly existence.
