In conjunction with the national organization,
The Compassionate Friends,
the family of Kai Hrabovsky hosted local remembrance events in 2016 and 2017 to honor the lives of all the children we've lost.  

The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting unites family and friends around the globe in lighting candles for one hour to honor the memories of the sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and grandchildren who left too soon.  

As candles are lit at 7:00 p.m. local time, hundreds of thousands of persons commemorate and honor the memory of all children gone too soon.  Now believed to be the largest mass candle lighting on the globe, the annual Worldwide Candle Lighting, a gift to the bereavement community from The Compassionate Friends, creates a virtual 24-hour wave of light as it moves from time zone to time zone.

We continue to honor Kai's memory by individually lighting our candles for our local hour, no matter where we happen to be physically located at the time.  To us, this is a sacred hour, spent channeling the spirit of our beloved son, 

in the hopes that Kai's "wave of light" will help to brighten this world and the spirits of those that loved and were loved by him.

Parking accommodations for our local events were generously provided by
MGK Technologies.

We gathered with the community to remember Kai and continue to heal. 

We each had opportunity for our own ceremony as we burned pieces of the stand for the memory curtains at his visitation 

and the cherry tree he loved to climb at his grandparents' farm.  

We shared songs, stories, hugs, tears, and laughter in true Kai fashion, around a bonfire.
