So beautiful❤❤ I lost my mom 13 years ago and still to this day I wait for a phone call from her. The feeling doesn’t ever go away, but their pain does and I know that’s what matters.
I’m so sorry for your loss and “the feeling doesn’t ever go away, but their pain does” is such a powerful statement that I’ll keep close to my heart because it’s so beautiful and bittersweet ❤️
Thank you for sharing your memories of your mom . Honoring your mom with an altar for Day of the Dead. This was a touching story . I'm sure she would be proud of your garden and be right there with you . I'm sure she's there in spirit . You've created a magical Paradise in the desert . Everything is beautiful the lights and the flowers . Thank you for sharing. I was even in tears thinking of my grandmother and mother .
I'm sure your mom loves your garden and the roses and remembering her on this special day. But, to be honest, there's nothing that can surpass the love she must feel watching over you at what a wonderful mother you, yourself, have become. In your kitchen, in your home, and in your garden, everything you do is kind and thoughtful, and from such a place of love for your family. I think you make her happiest of all.
This is my number one favorite video of yours. Even though you were rushed in the end after being sick, the time and care you put into this is one of the main components and we are so lucky that you shared it with us. I feel special and very grateful. I'm sure your mami felt invited and sensed your love and hard work. It is obvious that she is always with you. Her altar came out so, so pretty and Serendipity is the most perfect place for both of you. My garden is also a place of peace and healing. I wanted to start creating these traditions that I wasn't able to grow up with and I planned on making my first ofrenda this year for myself and my partner. However, I'm always pushing for increased cultural belongingness in my college (because really zero programming or effort exists) and I heard that my dean approved the funding of an ofrenda but of course, it's always too late, we'll do it next year. And so I said heck no, I'll take it on, and I made a rather large ofrenda for my college and I got so much positive feedback and appreciation from the students, faculty, and staff. They let me know how special it was to them to be able to make a practice so far away from their families. Even though it was exhausting it was so worth it but I didn't do one at home after all. But you have given me some wonderful ideas for our home ofrenda next year and to make it even better in the college as well. As I started to gather supplies and make the decorations my friend sent me an Instagram on making the cempasúchil with coffee filters - AND THEY CAME OUT FREAKING GORGEOUS. You have to dye them and I did a few variations of deeper/lighter yellows-oranges. They were rather easy to make and each flower has so much personality with the color variations.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart and it’s amazing that you were able to work so hard to make an ofrenda for your college! I’m sure it brought happiness to many who have lost a loved one and I’m positive your home ofrenda next year will also be spectacular! Thank you for the coffee filter idea! I’m going to try that next year for sure so it saves me time having to cut out all the circles 😁❤️
Beautiful !!!
