"in the scope of the universe."
is always what Aunt Laurie said.
when you need stitches, she gives them;
and reminds you that in the
scope of the universe,
it does not matter.
however big your problem may feel...
it is nothing.
in the scope of the universe:
i wonder if she ever knew how much
comfort her young niece
took in that simple
turn of phrase?
