20 Dec 00 - 10:02 PM (#360777) Subject: Lighting a candle for the Smith Twins From: katlaughing I suggested in the Smith Twins Birth Announcement thread that we pick a time and all light a candle for them, esp. little Patrick. Several people like the idea; Sorcha has already lit hers. I also like the idea of each of us just lighting one throughout the next 24 hours, whenever we are able, esp. if the specific time is not convenient for some. So, how about midnight, Mudcat time, tonight, for the specific. Then anytime that is convenient from then on to tomorrow's midnight? Just a nice way to connect our thoughts for them and maybe dissipate some of our own anxiety. Thank you all very much, kat |

I will gaze upon it and meditate on the sweetnesses and the stings of life. Last night I was thinking about those tiny boys and 'saw' them as young lads racing through the yard, as boys on their first day of school, as gawky long-legged preteens, as boys out on the town with their dates and finally as men with babes of their own and I thanked the Great Benevolence that brings us all here- and from my view, time after time for all time. Wes and Bretta, thank you for letting us share this anxious but blessed time with you, even in a small way. Ebbie |

O Creator of the Universe, hold this innocent infant in the palm of your hand. Grant strength, tenacity and stubborness to his spirit and healing to his tiny body. Give peace and untroubled sleep to his parents, that they may not collapse under the strain. And grant wisdom, insight and dexterity to his physicians; chase the weariness from the bodies of those who care for this little boy that they may serve him as best they can. For you are our Strength, our Shield and our Savior. Amen. |

I went to four stores, today, looking for more unscented votive candles, as I am running out. The only ones I was able to find were candy-cane striped. At first I thought no that wouldn't be right and then I thought why not? It is their first Christmas, after all, so why not have a cheerful little light for them?

24 Dec 00 - 02:14 AM (#362617) Subject: RE: Lighting a candle for the Smith Twins From: Extra Stout Micca's citing the laws of physics was a comforting reminder of the unity underlying the limits of the speed of light and the power of prayer; both expressions of the power of a loving ( if occasionially inscrutable)God. I found a good, big wax candle for my house, and I'll add one at Old St. Patrick's( Toledo, Ohio) this morning. I'm new to Mudcat, so give me a break, please, if I come off as pushy, insensitive, or ignorant, but I wonder if the Smiths are in need of a more concrete expression of solidarity and support than e-mails and candles. Wes and Bretta, can we send you blankets or sleepers? Do you have diaper pins and pacifiers? Can we help pay for nurses or sitters? Is there anything you wish we would do? One or two writers mentioned the power of Patrick's name. It's my Confirmation name and my son's middle name. Maybe all the Paddys pulling together can do some good. Speaking of concrete expressions of support, for what good it may do, I am Marty Brogan. I live at 4828 Monac Drive, Toledo, Ohio,43623.
