Visit my dad and grandma on All Souls Day

Tweet

All Souls Day is held on 2nd Nov but i will be working on Tuesday. Hence, many Catholics are taking weekends as opportunity to visit deceased love ones and ancestors yesterday and today, Sunday. I had not done my duty to visit my love ones for the past 10 years or so. Recently when my dad suddenly passed away, this was my first time to visit my grandma and my dad at the local Catholic cemetery which was far away and the bumpy muddy road was not a happy journey plus the hot scorching weather. Since dad just passed away 40 days ago, i had to visit him because i missed him so so so much. I wept when i saw his columbarium lot, lit candle and gave him flowers. I said a short prayer but spend most of the time weeping. I visited my grandma too, talked to her and informed her that her son had passed on. Hope i could visit him next year.
