“SONLIGHT” (n.)
Pronunciation: /sʌnˌlaɪt/
Definition: A word created by a grieving parent to honor a child they have lost. Unlike ordinary sunlight, which refers to the light of the sun, “SONLIGHT” transforms “Son” into a presence and a daily reminder of their child. It is a personal tribute, a way to feel their lost child’s presence every morning. Originally inspired by “sunshine,” this word reclaims the light for the memory of a specific son, not the sun itself.
