    So sorry for your loss Cassie, my heart goes out to you and your family, somehow the pain of such a loss never goes, but what a beautiful tribute to your nieces. I know the song by Eric Clapton, it makes me cry everytime I hear it, it is a heart-wrenching song. Love sent your way.

    Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep.

    If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.

    Sorry you all, bringing this back in their memory. I will do so each year I am here, hope you dont mind.

    Hugs to everyone who has lost someone close to them, candle's lit this evening...

    Love

    Cassi

    THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS (Bette Midler)

    It must have been cold there in my shadow,
    to never have sunlight on your face.
    You were content to let me shine, that's your way,
    you always walked a step behind.

    So I was the one with all the glory,
    while you were the one with all the strength.
    A beautiful face without a name -- for so long,
    a beautiful smile to hide the pain.

    CHORUS:
    Did you ever know that you're my hero,
    and ev'rything I would like to be?
    I can fly higher than an eagle,
    'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

    It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
    but I've got it all here in my heart.
    I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it,
    I would be nothing with out you.

    (CHORUS)

    Fly, fly, fly away,
    you let me fly so high.
    Oh, fly, fly,
    so high against the sky, so high I almost touch the sky.
    Thank you, thank you, thank God for you,
    the wind beneath my wings.

    Interesting I lit two green candles (7:00 am) before coming to the board to honor the losses I am experiencing today. I saw your thread and my heart aches for you and your family. I am sorry for the losses.

    I will continue to burn the candles for the day. The color green is for healing .

    Grief is dealt in so manys ways. There is no right or wrong to work with grief. Its ok to honor those losses you are experiencing. To acknowledge them in your way. Its okay to honor and share your grief here.

    Wow I just saw this thread. My heart goes out to you ((((((((Cassi and family))))))) Losing children is just devastating. You and your family are in my thoughts. I also this morning lit two very beautiful white candles for your neices. White for innocence lost.

    Cassi,

    Did not know about this additional trial you have endured. I understand even more your fierce advocacy for child welfare issues.
