Worldwide Children's Memorial



Once again, The Compassionate Friends have organized a worldwide candlelighting in memory of children who have died from any cause at any age. This year it's on Sunday the 14th of December. Candles are lit at 7 pm local time, creating a wave of light around the world.

It doesn't look like they got Congress to declare a special day this year, but I suppose it's understandable, given everything that's going on. While it's nice to have the day officially recognized, the important thing is that people remember.

I'll remember to light a candle in memory of Nicki and your grandson.
