We saw each other

"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 the 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 20 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 kind... That we could find each other, as Carl wrote so beautifully in Cosmos, you know, in the the vastness of space and the immensity of time... That we could be together for 20 years. That is something which sustains me and is 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."

-Ann Druyan, talking about her husband, Carl Sagan

Just in case, I think a TL Mormon should posthumously baptize Carl Sagan.

I'll be honest, it'd be more fun to hear from his two ex wives than his widow. Love the man but still.

For some people, thinking that there's nothing after death is far more comforting than the alternative.
I'm not stupid, a marauder just shot my brain.
