I wonder why Unitarians, who have adopted some Jewish observances, haven't taken on the yahrtzeit candle and kaddish. You can buy the candles in the kosher section of supermarkets, and you light them the evening of the day before the person died, since the Jewish day starts at sundown. <br /><br />I can't believe that it's been that long since you lost your mother, sister, and father. Maybe lighting yahrtzeit candles on the days they died would be a way for you to honor them.CERN Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247537455350693178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765722329350005056.post-6591391554779860012012-03-18T20:36:41.297-07:002012-03-18T20:36:41.297-07:00What a lovely post.

The picture you've posted is wonderful. It captures that charming smile. <br /><br />You are lucky to have a tradition that honors the dead. It is a lovely way to remember them. My father died 3 1/2 years ago; my mother and my sister nearly 7 years ago, and I think about all of them every day.Jill Jepsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110818603585207521noreply@blogger.com
