The Candle

There was a man who had an only daughter that he loved with all his heart.

She was dying of cancer and he tried everything in his power to fight this deadly disease and make her well. Unfortunately his beautiful daughter died.

The man did not think he could go one without her and cried day in and day out. He missed her so very much.

One night the man had a dream. In the dream many people were walking hand in had and holding a candle. He then noticed his daughter and ran to her, picking her up in his arms and hugging her tight telling her that he loved and missed her so much.

Whipping tears from his eyes he noticed that her candle was not lit and asked her why not. Daddy she said your tears keep putting it out please let me be happy daddy and stop crying for me.

The man awoke from his dream and realized what he was doing. He had a new meaning of life and went to the store and bought many candles. He keeps one lit in honor of his beautiful daughter and all the smiles she brought him.

Always keep the candle lit for those you loved and who God has taken home. They are happy in heaven and have not died.
