I did this last year here on the DIS. If you would post the names of those people you would like to remember I will post all the names in the first post.
We would all light a candle to remember all those people who are no longer with us but we hold them in our hearts. OR Those people that need special prayers this upcoming holiday season. December 21st is the shortest day of the year and I thought it would be a good time to remember our loved ones.
Please share your stories here also. I know this can be a tough time for many. I know I take comfort in my memories when we have "those" moments.
Memorial Candles
As we light these four candles in honor of you,
we light one for our grief,
one for our courage,
one for our memories,
and one for our love.
This candle represents our grief. The pain of losing you is intense. It reminds us of the depth of our love for you.
This candle represents our courage-- to confront our sorrow-- to comfort each other, to change our lives.
This light is in your memory-- the times we laughed, the times cried, the times we were angry with each other, the silly things you did, the caring and joy you gave us.
This light is the light of love. As we enter this holiday season, day by day we cherish the special place in our hearts that will always be reserved for you. We thank you for the gift your living brought to each of us.
We love you
