Post Only 48 Hours

this has to do with my thread in grief and loss titled murder/suicide:

Hello everyone please take a moment out of your day or night to "light" a candle in memory of a family friend that passed away at the young age of 13 months along with her mother at age 22. Go to:

Light A Candle - Birthday candles, Virtual candles, Votive candles, Memorial candles, Cyber candles - Light candles online

and light a candle. Under group name please type in j&k which stands for Jaidyn (daughter) and Kristin (mother)

I have started this because I would like millions of people all over the world to take a moment to remember two people that are terribly missed. This is a great way to start your 2008 new year. Thank you. Whether you know this mother and daughter is irrelevent. Please find it in your heart to care for others. Blessings to you all and thank you for being so caring and kind.

BE SURE TO REPOST ASAP SO WE CAN GET MILLIONS OF CANDLES LIT. THEY ONLY STAY LIT FOR 48HRS.

thank you all for being so wonderful and supportive!!! made me really smile today also you can light candles for your own personal reasons too, there is no limit to how many you light. i came across this in a sexual abuse chat forum and actually lit one for a child victim and then started my own thanks to you all. and deedee thanks for fixing my link, if it wasnt for fixing it i probably wouldnt have as many. hugs to all!!

Audra,
thank you so much for sharing this - I lit a candle for that wonderful mother & child

so very grateful to read this today - a very close co-worker and friend of mine passed away this morning, thanks to you I was able to light a candle in her honor & send it to her email address - she may never read it - but I believe she knows

May you be blessed with Serenity & Joy,
Rita
