βThe eyes which cannot see, the ears which cannot hear, the hands which cannot touch, the nose which cannot smell, the tongue which cannot speak, the soul lives forever without these.β Day of the Dead is a reminder to us that life is not a gift to be squandered on fear, hatred, jealousy, regret or a heavy heartβit is a time to reflect on the past and look deep within for the power to carry on, singing our song in honor of those who came before.
