What a beautiful and touching way to celebrate those who are no longer with us. You are lucky to have known and have memories of your grandparents. Tata means dad in my language (Romanian). I think I like more the Mexican traditions as those in my culture are a bit too dramatic for me.
Hi Lyme!! thank you so much for stopping by and checking out dia de los muertos, it did definitely help with the grieving process. yes i was very fortunate to have had them as another set of parents in my life. oh interesting that Tata means dad and well he very much was my dad too. :) i love that and thank you for sharing. i would love to hear about your "dramatic" traditions tho ... LOL!
