Jou Storie Was Korter

Toe alles begin het, het ons gesê ons gaan saam hierdeur kom.

Ons het geglo daar sou nog tyd wees.
Nog verjaarsdae.
Nog foto's.
Nog koffie op 'n Saterdagoggend.
Nog planne wat ons nog nie gemaak het nie.

Ons het vasgehou aan hoop, selfs op die dae wat dit al hoe moeiliker geword het.

Jy het elke dag met soveel moed aangepak.
Selfs wanneer jou liggaam moeg was, het jy nog altyd 'n manier gevind om vir óns sterk te wees.
Jy het geleer hoe om met genade te leef, selfs toe die lewe nie meer regverdig gevoel het nie.

Ek wens die siekte het nie jou tyd gesteel nie.
Ek wens ons kon saam oud geword het.
Ek wens ek kon nog net een keer langs jou sit en hoor hoe jy lag.

Maar al was jou storie korter as wat ons gehoop het, was dit gevul met liefde, moed en 'n lig wat nooit sal uitdoof nie.

Ek mis jou elke dag.
Maar wanneer ek aan jou dink, kies ek om nie net jou laaste dae te onthou nie.
Ek kies om jou lewe te onthou.
Jou lag.
Jou sagtheid.
Jou ongelooflike hart.

Jou storie was korter as wat ons gehoop het, maar mooier as wat woorde kan beskryf.

Jou Storie Was Korter is 'n handgemaakte herinneringskers wat geskep is vir diegene wie se lewe te kort was, maar wie se liefde en nalatenskap vir altyd voortleef.

Met sy elegante ontwerp, sagte sjampanje-goue viniel en satynlint bring hierdie kers warmte na kosbare herinneringe en skep dit 'n rustige plek waar liefde, moed en dankbaarheid saam kan leef.

Vir 'n persoonlike huldeblyk kan die satynlint gepersonaliseer word met jou geliefde se naam, geboortedatum en sterfdatum. Die lint kan ook leeg gelaat word vir 'n eenvoudige, tydlose afwerking.

Of dit nou op 'n herinneringsrak, tydens 'n gedenkdiens of in jou huis brand, dien hierdie kers as 'n sagte herinnering dat hoewel sommige stories te vroeg eindig, die liefde wat agterbly nooit verdwyn nie.

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Keep away from children, pets, curtains and flammable materials.
• Avoid burning in draughty areas.
• Allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface during the first burn to help prevent tunnelling.
• Extinguish the flame before it reaches the bottom of the candle.

A Note About Handmade Products

Every Kraft-it Kandle candle is individually handcrafted rather than mass-produced. Small variations in colour, ribbon placement, vinyl positioning or finish are a natural part of the handmade process and are what make every piece uniquely yours.
