Lighting Candles World Wide
A Project of Three Sides to Every Story, Inc.

Imagine for a moment Lighting Candles World Wide and all at the same time. Imagine your child knowing we are Lighting Candles World Wide just for them.

We have given this a lot of thought and we have come to the conclusion that everyone can light a candle at their home or in their home town at a designated place.

You can be apart of Lighting Candles World Wide to show a united front for the children and their need to have both parents and grandparents in their lives.

We have chosen April 25, 2009 at 7:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (more time zones below) for our second annual Lighting Candles World Wide which is parental alienation awareness day. Easter being just a couple of weeks ago which makes this one of the hardest times of year for those missing their children, but especially for the children who are missing a parent or grandparents or in some cases siblings and of course their extended family.

We realize that in far too many cases the children pay a very hard price for the actions of their adult parents. We are asking everyone to come together on this very special day of Lighting Candles World Wide. One candle lit from each and every one of us at the same time will make a vibrant light world wide and make this a very special parental alienation awareness day.

We believe if asked, a child would pick both parents instead of just one. We also believe that a child should not be forced or tricked into giving up a parent because the other parent no longer needs or wants that parent.

We are asking for everyone to put the children first and allow our country to heal the family. There is nothing more important then family. There is no greater gift then family.

We want to light candles in every town within every county within every state in the US . We are also getting great response from other countries... India, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, Brazil, Russia, Great Britain  and several places in Europe such as Italy and Germany. We look forward to lighting a candle with you.

This is a WORLD WIDE event and we want You to be involved.

Our goal is to light all the candles at the same exact same minute all over the world, therefore your time to light candles even though at the exact minute we do, might very well be a different day and/or time then ours.

Our third annual Lighting Candles World Wide will be July 19, 2009.

We invite you to join us in this humanitarian effort for all children and their families.
