Candles make memories.
I have this candle that my grandmother made for me. It's enormous. It had been around for years. I lit it for the first time when she died. Every so often, I light it and take a bath in candlelight. Those are special times.
It's funny how many warm memories are wrapped up in candles. Who doesn't remember the way the candlelight glowed with passion in your lover's eyes? Who doesn't remember festive, candlelit holiday dinners animated by tiny flames dancing in delight?
If you don't have those fond memories, it's never too late to make them.
Anyway, candle making is a serious business, too.
