Thank you all for your kind words.
It really helped me a lot. The imagination that nearly all over the world candles are burning... It will help her to enlighten her way, I am sure.

strange..... at least you've posted a poem which is very dear to me. A friend of mine send it to me (in German, of course) some years ago when my Dad died...
I've read it the last days, several times... and also remembered that my Mum liked it.

*sigh*
It's so hard and I nearly don't know how to cope with it all.
I'm feeling so lost, now, at least, I am a motherless child, thoug at the age of 42.

We all feel lost, the children and me.
No husband, no brothers no sisters. Just the three of us are left.
And that really is a feeling I can't describe....

All the best to you all and thanks again.
