My family has been going to it every year since B.J. died. The first time was on Dec.12th when he died on Dec.1st. It's a beautiful way to honor our children's memory and keep them a part of the holidays. I know it's not for everyone but even if you can't attend in person you can light a candle at 7:00pm your time and join with all the other grieving parents around the world in memory of our children.
I'm going to be reading the poem My Mom Is A Survivor at ours and my two girls are going to sing a song each. Kayla is singing I Can Only Imagine and Sarah is singing I've Never Been More Homesick Than Now. Please pray for us...as much of an honor as it is to be asked to do this we're about nervous wrecks. There is usually around 150 people that attend the Wave of Light where we go.
I'll let you know how is goes. And I'll be remembering all of our children during this time.
Love, Cindy
But I would love to hear how everything went. We played the song "Homesick" at Garion's celebration of life given by his best friends and it is also the song on his website....I bet there wasn't a dry eye tonight. HUGS!
