[araw ng mga patay 2008 | dia de los muertos]
for my ancestors, my ma, my dad, my
lola & lolo;
To acknowledge our ancestors means we are aware
that we did not make ourselves,
We remember them because it is an easy thing to forget;
that we are not the first to suffer, rebel,
fight, love and die.
The grace with which we embrace life,
in spite of the pain, the sorrows,
is always a measure of what has gone before.
-- Alice Walker, "In These Dissenting Times"
