Some call this the Day Of The Dead. Which makes me think of the woman in 'Streetcar,' going about the street saying "Flores por les mortes."
All Souls Day, which I prefer, is when we remember loved ones, friends and family, who have gone before us. I think of my parents, grandparents, and friends who have gone before me, most recently my friend Steve, who passed April 3, and had he lived would be celebrating his 70th birthday on our natal day. I will be thinking of him, then.
Make sure to say some prayers today for those remembered and deeply missed.
The saints get November 1, the souls November 2.
That covers all, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All Saints, then All Souls.
That does pretty much cover it.
I know the passing of Steve is weighing heavily on you, and that you honor his memory.
Victoria, I think of Steve especially around now; we had the exact same birthday.
