for me to take this off my list. The online petition to light a million candles against child pornography was originally supposed to end on this date. It’s possible, due to an overwhelming response, that the site might be kept up longer. They are well over their initial goal of a million candles.

I’m happy to have played a part and will continue to be a guardian online for children around the world. I’m sure that hundreds of people were contacted both here on 43things and by word of mouth and have joined the ranks. I’m also mightily impressed with the array of different postings here. Each one has touched my heart with its own unique appeal.
