today is the day of the dead - a “holiday” that i think is so super cool and utterly missing from the dominant culture dialog here in the US. as someone who has lost all 3 parents (remind me to explain that one sometime), the image of my mom wearing a 49ers t-shirt and cooking lasagna or my dad playing acoustic guitar and singing “the day the music died” or jim wearing khakis and a blue and gold striped rugby shirt (go bears!) and feasting with other friends and family makes me smile!
today let’s remember those we have lost and missed – but really picture them in their next “life” – however you define that – LIVING and ENJOYING!!!
update: my rowing club has a great day of the dead/american gothic graphic for the HOTL race every year – but i can’t seem to download the image alone!
