Light a candle

Andrew, Jr. · 03-24-2011, 08:22 AM

My thoughts and prayers are for all of us here. May we all have our burdens lightened. May some of our prayers be answered.

May nobody ever be told they are are burden to others or embarass their family because of who or what they are. We are all human beings - all interconnected. We all deserve nothing but unconditional love.

That is why my candles and incense are burning for today.

Peace and love to all,
Andrew

Thank you Andrew. I chose to divorce 1/2 of my bio-family years ago. It was for my survival. It took years for them to speak to me and my Mom (who came out when I was 17) They were too toxic to be around. he later remarried and had 2 children. My 1/2 brother killed himself at 16, and I do not know the whereabouts of my 1/2 sister.

During that time, we moved far away due to death threats from my father, his constant vigilance and harassment, and the inability to be who we were in a small Pennsylvania town. I have learned that true friendship and love in the gay community can last a lifetime, and when and if the family comes around, you can be rich in other things.

From my flame to yours, may we share the true light of love and to my sister Cindy wherever you are.

Yes, Tommi. You are right. That is why we are all interconnected. I loved reading your post. Thank you for that, dear brother.

Love,
Andrew

PS: I lost my younger brother to suicide as well. He was 15 yo.

A night of reflection creates a list
of prayers for the burning bowl,
to release pain, to create renewal of faith
for belief in oneself, for healing and for properity.
May today bring you each blessings.

I light a candle for the loss of my best friend, room mate, sister of the heart....who passed away on Valentines day this year. She was sick for a while but I never expected this...I feel like part of my heart has been torn out. We miss you Renie and you were and are so loved. All our love, Bobbi and our fur babies, Casey Dog, the kitties, Emily and Sammie

It is so misunderstood, and overlooked. Even when we know, there are just some that believe it is their choice.
My only brother was 16.

Dear Andrew and Tommi,

I walk with you. My cousin and I loved each other so deeply and he died from suicide when we were both 16. My parents still have no idea how close they came to losing me, too. Thankfully, but painfully, we survive.

For all who suffer and see no way out ~
