I love that this candle has three wicks encircled in white wax. They seem protected. We light it often when we're thinking about them. It lives in a plate that says, "You Are Special Today". We got it as a wedding gift from a dear friend Leslee. I imagined using it for our family on … Continue reading We Remember You : You Are Special Today
