Every year, on November 2, it is usual for the dead to go to the cemetery ... This is the beginning of a poem called "A'Livella" of a famous Italian comedian Antonio De Curtis, called and known by all as "Toto". Maybe some of you Mylotters, haveĀ  heard of it? Well to all modes November 2 of each year, we celebrate the commemoration of the dead. Of course, it is not a party, because, as can be seen, brings sadness and melancholy in memory of our loved ones who are gone! And so today cemeteries crowded with people, red candles and flowers (especially chrysanthemums) for sale, and, especially in front of the tombs, a prayer for Believers, while atheists, it is due some time for meditation. Even the TV showed images related to this sad event annually. Many people in the cemeteries, they wanted to release a brief interview.

We did it here in Mexico yesterday. I visited the grave of my mother here. Then took some food to friends home, as they lost their son not long ago. Have a great weekend there.
