Tonight is the Worldwide Candlelighting sponsored by Compassionate Friends for families that have lost children. Here is what I posted on their guestbook shortly before I lit a candle for Sean -

Everett, WA

. Sean -

I didn't have the strength to light a candle for you last year but this year I can't not light it. Tomorrow should be your 24th bday and not having you here to celebrate it with us is nearly impossible. I miss you more than words can possibly explain. I know you are never too far away and I thank you for staying so close to me and to your brother. Not a single second goes by that I don't think of you - more often with a smile these days, but sometimes with tears. Stay close and know that you are always in our thoughts.

I love you Sean. I miss you so very much.

Sean's Mom
