Afterthought (or the wish things happened differently)

 

I wanted to know more so I did a little research and found this lovely little tidbit!

 

"According to Greek mythology, when the god Jupiter decided to flood the earth to destroy the warring men, the goddess Astraea was so upset she asked to be turned into a star. Her wish was granted, but when the flood waters receded she wept for the loss of lives. As her tears turned to stardust and fell to earth, the beautiful aster flower sprung forth."
