Candle Lighting

Tonight we went to The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting in honor of our son, Cole. I had sent in Cole's digital picture just in time to make it in the slide show of children loved and lost. Even though I am a bereaved parent, my heart always goes out to those families that have endured the loss of their children. It was very sad to see all the faces of the children that have passed away.

We haven't been to a meeting or candle lighting since we moved to Dallas since we have always had a young one in tow. We were very involved with the local chapter in Houston and I realized tonight that I have missed being around other bereaved parents. There is something comforting about being around others who truly know what you go through.
