Gregory and I have long celebrated Día de los Metros, Day off the Dead. We collected items from our travels in Mexico as well as from the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago.
At Michael's Museum: A Curious Collection of Tiny Treasures, two of the collections include a 24"x36" and a 36"x36" alter, offerenda.
There are also offerendas in our home. This year one is modeled after a Mexican Cafe and the other, which for the first time, includes a photograph of Gregory along with my mom and dad and Gregory's mom and dad. I wonder if his soul will be ready to visit on November 1 and 2?
