“You know what they are? Children. They think lighting a candle or saying a prayer is going to make everything better or even saying a prayer.
I know what you’re going to say - “it makes them feel better, Damon.” So what?
For how long a minute, a day? What difference does it make? Because, in the end when you lose somebody - every candle, every prayer is not going to make up for the fact that the only thing that you have left is a hole in your life where that somebody that you cared about used to be and a rock. With a birthday carved into that i’m pretty sure is wrong. So thanks friend.”
