i love this little tea light holder i made. if you don't know i am a nicu nurse and last year all of my primary patients died except one. five patients passed, one went home. it broke my heart and i had a hard time processing this. so at the suggestion of my therapist i created this little tea light holder to light when a patient dies next. i haven't had any pass since making it, so we shall see who it is for next but after making it i lit it for all my patients, whom i loved and cared for and am happy they are at peace. sometimes we all just need a little way to release sadness and this was it, to all my little and big babies whom i got to know dearly in 2025-2026 i miss you and your families dearly. ❋
