Dear student,
In the summer of 1941, Anne's grandma had fallen ill and undergone an operation. So, her birthday had not been celebrated that year. Her birthday celebrations in 1942 were meant to compensate for the missed celebrations the year before. As her grandma had died early that year, Anne lit a candle in her name as a mark of her love and fondness for her.
Regards
