In remembrance of Nolan and all the other babies whose light burned out long before they could really shine, people all over the world lit a candle at 7pm their time and allowed the candle to burn for one hour. The effect was a wave of light that traveled around the world in remembrance of these little souls. It just so happened that today was my last day of work on Homeland and ironically we had lunch at 7pm. Marshall and Ronan brought a candle with them and we lit it in my office and let it burn for the lunch hour. Our craft service girls also lit a candle in their truck and let it burn in the window for Nolan. I appreciated everyone else that also lit a candle in memory of Nolan and sent me pictures or posted them on Facebook. I loved each and every candle lit and know Nolan was smiling down on all of them.
Even more ironic was a gift I received today. It being our last day of work, Claire Danes handed out her wrap gifts to everyone. She gave me a beautiful silver dish that could be used for jewelry, knickknacks or yes, a candle. Not wanting to give me just the dish, Claire gave me a pure white candle. Seeing my posts on Instagram of Nolan's candle the irony did not slip past her. The dish and the candle just might have to become Nolan's special candle (or at least until it's all burned away and needs to be replaced).
