Day of the Dead

Today, November 2, is the Day of the Dead, a holiday celebrated all over Latin America. This is my offering to my Father who died this year.

Dia de los Muertos means "Day of the Dead" in Spanish. And the translation to the Spanish at the end is:

Dad, I hope that you have peace and tranquility. I miss you so much, too much. To lose you is too much. At times I think I can't continue without you in my life. It hurts my heart, and it causes pain in all parts of my life. These things are for you. Eat well. And drink with the angels.
