Yesterday, my friends and I attended the Day of the Dead celebration in Murphys, California. Celebrating the Day of the Dead is always bittersweet for me. On one hand, I love any excuse to dress up. On the other hand, it’s a day to remember friends and family that are no longer with us. It’s a celebration of their life, but also the realization that the people that we loved and cared for are gone forever. But what matters are the memories they left with us. To remember them, is to keep them alive in our hearts.
