Honoring a Loved One
My father died when I was 14 and have been racking my brain trying to figure out a way to honor him Someone posted this poem a few months back and thought it was perfect for our candle lighting ceremony- we are going to ask someone to read it while my father and Jeremy's parents light the candles "Although death has separated us physically, faith and love have bound us eternally. Though we cannot see you, we know you are here. Though we cannot touch you, we feel the warmth of your smile, as we begin a new chapter in our lives. Today we pause to reflect upon those who have shaped our character, molded our spirits and touched our hearts. May the lighting of this candle be a reminder of the memories we have shared, a representation of the everlasting impact you have made upon our lives. "
Hope this helps, and good luck with whatever you decide.
