THEY DON’T ALL COME AT ONCE!
In Mexico, the dead come home over 8 nights. Each soul has its own date to return. This is not Halloween.
Oct 27 – Our beloved animals
Oct 28 – Those who left without saying goodbye
Oct 29 – Those the water took
Oct 30 – The forgotten and lonely souls
Oct 31 – The door opens
Nov 1 – Los angelitos, the little ones
Nov 2 – The grown ones who know the way home
Nov 3 – The farewell
This is how we remember. Who will you light a veladora for?
I hope that tonight, we see our first 4 girls. I have been dreaming about them these past few nights. Sometimes I hear extra dogs walking about, as well as see an unexpected movement out of the corner of my eye.
Our # 1 Cloii in the raspberry collar and # 2 Channel ( huge chest ) in the green collar.
They were all so special with unique personalities. On the right is Carmeh, our #3 and on the left is Caeli, our fourth doxie.
You will always be in our hearts. Thank you for the special memories.

Beautiful artwork and stories!!! The big gets better and better, every time I look at it!
in most of hispanic-speaking countries el Dia de los Muertos is celebrated on December 1st & December 2nd; Mexico seems to be the only country that celebrates it during several days.
