Candle Story for Lillian G. Harper

gibster made this candle.

Lil was my neighbor and friend. She was all alone in the world and -- knowing that feeling well despite my young age -- I just had to care for her. It started out as a fun time: her needs weren't too extensive for a full-time university student to handle. Only this evolved into a situation which was way out of control. I had no support and found it hard to know the right things to do sometimes. It ended very sadly for me as her eventual death hit me like a crane had just dumped a load of rocks on my head. I love you my dear friend, Lil. Please forgive me my ignorance when we ran into struggles neither of us knew how to handle. At least you know now that my devotion to you was sincere and heartfelt. Rest in peace. You certainly deserve it.
