I lit two candles last night one for my son Paul who died 12 years ago and one for my niece Jill; it has been just four years. Their light WILL always shine and they remain in my heart and in my memory until it is time for me to be with them. I miss you and love you both.
December 17, 2010 (one week before Christmas), our son (20 years old) was accidentally shot by one of his best friends. Young people and weapons are no go!
Because they do not know about the life imprisonment for the bereaved.
The pain that a parent goes through at the death of a child has to be the worse pain in the world. A mother brings a child into this world, devotes their life to this child and gives themselves totally to that child. I will light candles for all the forever suffering mothers, a candle for my sister - our mother cries each day missing you - I talk to you and know that one day you will answer. I light a candle for Matthew Fielder, so young you left this earth. I know your mother misses you so <3
This is my first year i will be lighting a candle for my son Alberto 36 yrs old. Was murdered on Sept 30,2011. My house is so empty and i feel so lonely without you here. I miss you so much and love you. That person that took him away from me has been caught on 12/3/2011. Thank you lord !! Until we meet again R.I.P. Albie
For my sister and mother, who both lost a child(ren) this year...I share your pain but I can not fully feel it as fully as you do...and for my daughter who lost a child that never saw a Christmas several years ago...I wish I could take the pain away, but then that would take away the meaning of her sweet but short life...while there is no service near me, I will light my 4 candles next weekend to honour them and let them live on in my heart
Lighting my candle this year as I have been the past 18 years in honor of my precious Jason, forever 16. You lit up the world with your smile until that fateful day in September 1992 when a 34 year old man we called "friend" took you from us in Haralson County, GA. I know each year it's the 2nd Sunday in December but I know for many TCF groups, this year it will be Dec 12, tomorrow, this year. Candles are lit at 7pm which means for a 24 hour period, candles are burning around the world...
it's my 1st easter without you,my precious,only son.all the memories of easters past but now this holiday is my hope for our future together again in heaven someday....love you forever xoxmomxox

As a TCF member too, I also agree with 20br04 who wrote the text comment below mine.
At the moment the candles are being lit at 7:00 pm, it is hard for tears not to fall, but the majority of the event is about who each child was - their precious memories!. The memories of them, the ones that made us laugh, remember good and bad times... keeping their memory a part of us during the Holiday season. This day is very helpful for families and friends

As a TCF member I want to say that the candle lighting is not all tears, there are comforting moments too.
