Hi All!


On Sunday 8th December is "world-wide candlelighting" .
Throughout the world, everyone in their own time-zone at point 7 p.m. 
lights a candle for our children. I don't mean the children on your 
arms or held by your hand. This is the special day for our special 
children. The children which have left us in the pregnancy or during 
and after birth.
An organisation in USA called "Compassionate friends" started this 6 
years ago,  for the 2nd Sunday in December every year, so that we can 
show we have not forgotten. 

So, we light our candles not only for our own children, but for those 
who should have become our siblings, our aunts and uncles, our 
grandchildren or our "friends son or daughter". If you look around 
your friends and family, nearly every one of you will have a little 
"angel" that is worth remembering. So, PLEASE light your candles on 
Sunday 7 p.m. 

My candles are shining for:
The children in my family, including those miscarried by my sister, my 
mother and grandmothers. These children should have become dear 
relatives and I can see they are still missed even after  5,20,30 or 
even 60(!) years.
Here in "HPFGU" I light my candles for
Wandas Michael
Pippins Jesse
Koinonia02's Elisabeth June and Nicholas Aaron
And those I don't know of.

And of course, my light is shining for WIEBKE, my beloved daughter.. 
She is always on my mind, always in my heart. She is my shadow in the 
day and my light at night. And she will never be forgotten, because 
she is loved and missed forever.

Thanks for listening
Sabine (Mecki)
