Stacy died on the 4th of March. For three years after my mother would mark the date by quietly burning a candle. It was a significant date.
At some point before the next 4th of March she decided to make a change. Stacy’s birthday was the 10th of February and Mum decided that her birthday was a better day to burn the candle and actively remember her. I remember thinking this decision had a simple and loving wisdom to it. The day she was born, not just the day she died. Good one Mum. Happy birthday Stace.
