Light a Candle on Chrismas Eve - Please

I am sure even if you have not read them you are aware of the 'lost Mother's' threads.

I would like to ask you all to pledge to light a candle this Christmas eve, not just for the 'Lost Mothers' but for all Parents and children who are seperated, for whatever reason this Christmas.

Christmas is a time for families and the following is a poem/prayer written by a falsely accused mother;

I used to cover you with the blankets,
and tuck you up all warm.
I could keep you safe from the things
that go bump in the night
with a mere hug and a kiss goodnight.

We cannot be together at this time
so wanted you to know
that no matter where you are,
my heart is there with you
and every night, I cover you with a prayer,
to keep you safe and warm

Please help me light up the country with love for our children.
Bunglie XX

I am asking friends to light a candle this Christmas and say a little prayer or spare a thought for all chidren and parents who are seperated at this time of year.
If you would like to do this the candles are being lit on Christmas eve, let us see if we can light the country with hope and love for our 'lost' children.
The other objective is to try and educate just one person as to what MSbP is and what has been happening.
I wish you all seasons greetings, and I hope that you can all have the best Christmas that you are able. Let us hope and pay that 2005 brings about the changes in the law that we all want.
Love, Peace and Hope to all

I will do, Bunglie.

At church last Sunday I also said a prayer for all mothers who are in difficult circumstances this Christmas time.

pixiefish · 23/12/2004 16:33

Bunglie- I posted yesterday and bumped this because I wasn't able to compose myself enough to write anything.

I watched the news yesterday about the latest hopeful release- I don't know how any of you brave people survive. To lose a child would kill me and then to have the authorities blame the parent and then separate from other children and/or jail. If I was separated from my dd I would die and I suppose that the one thing that keeps you going is knowing that one day your children will come for you.

I'm sorry- I can't write any more.
I'm sorry if I haven't expressed myself very clearly but my thoughts are with you and your children.

BunglieOnTopOfTheChristmasTree · 23/12/2004 17:01

Pixiefish and everyone, please do not think that you have to express some sentiment. There is very little that anyone can say. What you do say, whatever it is , is very much appreciated and so do not worry about putting the right or wrong thing. There is no right thing to write if that makes sense.

All I am asking is that this Christmas eve that you light a candle for all children and parents seperated from one another, for whatever reason, as Christmas is a time for families and without 'souring' your own Christmas in anyway, I just ask you to think of those who can not be together.

Bless all of you who have pledged to do this...it is the best present that I could have asked for. Thank you.

Love Bunglie

I'll be lighting a candle too

WigWamBam · 23/12/2004 17:51

i wish we could all do more, Bunglie.

WigWamBam · 24/12/2004 12:30

Bump

BunglieOnTopOfTheChristmasTree · 24/12/2004 14:03

WigWamBam, everyone, do not worry that you can not do more, what you have done is more than I could ever have hoped for.

Tonight, or today, when you light your candles please don't just think of the mothers falsely accused, but ALL children who for whatever reason are seperated from their parents and those they love. The reson does not matter, but your little candle, joined with all the others, I hope will light up the country so that our thoughts and prayers go to those who are seperated this Christmas.

You have given me a wonderful present by agreeing to do this, and if just one 'new' person realises what has been happening with regards to our Family Courts system then that is all I ask.

For those of you who have said that you will 'spread the word' Thank you again.

I will be lighting my candle at 6pm, and I shall be thinking not only of my children, the children seperated from their famiies and ones they love but certain Mnetters and the sorrow that they have faced with so much courage this year, and I have so much admiration for so many of you.

Before this turns into a mutual admiration society! Please remeber when you tuck your 'little ones' and 'big ones' in bed tonight that a certain Bunglie is Wishing you all a very merry Christmas

Let us light the land with love tonight

With love to you all
Tilly

BunglieOnTopOfTheChristmasTree · 24/12/2004 18:11

I have just lit three candles.
One for my son,
One for my daughter,
One for all those I wish I could bring together this Christmas and for those that I know and respect,many who have had their own problems in the last year.

By my Candles is a card which says;

May these lights shine with love,
For the Children and many Mother's, Let there be peace on Earth this Christmas, And give strength and support to all others.

I am no poet but I hope that the setiment is there. I hope that next Christmas I can post about my own children and that no more children will have been adopted due to false allegations of MSbP. That is my New Year resolution.

I thank you all and wish you all a very happy Christmas and a lovely New Year. Please enjoy your Christmas and your children in the knowledge that you have given this one person the best Christmas present ever.

I love you all, Bunglie XX

BunglieOnTopOfTheChristmasTree · 24/12/2004 19:35

JJ · 24/12/2004 19:44

Have lit mine. They're in the room with the Christmas tree, so have turned all the other lights off to let them shine on their own for a while.

My husband and I don't do a lot of religious things around Christmas, but love it as it's about family to us. We are thinking of those missing theirs for whatever reason tonight.

maomao · 24/12/2004 19:45

Have lit mine, too. Wishing you all the best. xxx
