[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 668354, member: 17461"] It helped me to light a candle for my son. When I did not know what else to do, I could love him. I could give myself that time with him, thinking of him, praying for him, loving him. I am 63, Feels Sad. It is twenty years ago now that our son was addicted, and that I lit those candles because I did not know whether he was alive, or whether he was hurt or cold. I still put candles in my windows at Christmas. I use those electric ones for that. Every Christmas, when I put those candles in my windows, I do it thinking about moms like me, and kids like mine. I learned that both my children were thinking about me too, on those lonely Christmases or birthdays or Easters or Thanksgivings. It was something I could do; a way to name the pain and the hope and the love. Cedar [/QUOTE]
