Thank you dear friends

What a beautiful idea! A wave of flickering candlelight going around the world.

ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this before. I will certainly light a candle and will also take the time to reflect on those we have lost to cancer, there have been so many lately. November and December seems to be months of much grief for some. And then the New Year comes, with new possibilities, new encounters, new memories to be made. I will think of you as I light my candles tomorrow, sweet friend so far away. Blessings, Tammy
ReplyDeleteA lovely thought ~ I will light my little cranberry rose candle at 7pm

Shane, I am so glad that I caught this post of yours... Of course, we will be lighting a candle tonight at 7pm and I will share this with my friends.

so beautiful of you to share this and very special that the twinkling lights of remembrance begin in your special homeland dear Shane
ReplyDeletewe attend a service each year, the room is filled with loved ones of children gone too soon, the children's names are read, a bell is rung for each child and candles are lit...it is a safe place to let go of some of the deep and searing grief ... our wee bit of Christmas with our Alex
Brightest of Blessings to you and yours
