Worldwide Candle Lighting Day

It was a busy weekend filled with soccer and celebrating the season.
Today we followed one of our family’s traditions of taking the kids downtown to see Santa at Dickens Village in center city. We have been doing this since Chase’s 1st Christmas and have continued it with Ella and Shane and even now. While in line, a woman told us she follows Shane’s story. It really warmed our hearts knowing that Shane’s memory and his story continues on. Thank you for telling us!

As we settle in for the night, we lit a candle for Shane. Today, CHOP held a candlelight remembrance service for worldwide candle lighting day. It’s a day on which people around the world gather to light candles for children who have died and to show that they will always be loved and never forgotten. While, we didn’t attend, we still participated at home. Perhaps one day we will.
