Today is the 11th anniversary of the Worldwide Candle Lighting.  This is a day set aside to honor and faithfully remember all children who have died.

Tonight at 7PM your local time, remember to light a candle for one hour.  Your act of doing this is a reminder of all children will never be forgotten. Imagine a wave of soft candleight illuminating the world at 7PM your local time.

Candle

My heart and prayers go out to each family who has to learn to live each day with the loss of a child.

What a wonderful way to end your day!  And remember to be safe with your candles!

Melanie, I can't imagine the pain of losing a child. That has to be even harder than losing a spouse. The order of death is not expected. A 39 yr old friend who lost his sister of 43 yr old to cancer this past week was still in shock since it was a sibling. But a child has not even had time to have much life. We are all blessed who live many lifetimes of theirs. Thanks for letting us know about the candle lighting.

Gary, You are so right about the pain.  Children are not supposed to die before their parents.  I have friends who have experienced this.  It is so painful, so very painful.
