LIGHT A CANDLE FOR ME
The match shook as Leon lit the votive candle.
She'd always loved candles, he remembered, their fragrance and soft light.
As the silence of the church enveloped him, he bowed his head, clasped his hands. He didn't know why he'd come, hadn't been to church in years. But there was no one to talk to. No one he trusted with this pain.
Blinking back tears, he withdrew a photograph of a toddler with cake smeared on his lips. It had arrived that morning. God, it hurt to see his mother's eyes staring back at him like that.
"Happy birthday, kiddo."
